Über das Projekt
W. McCallum von Song Saa Foundation ist für dieses Projekt verantwortlich
Funds raised through Allan's efforts will be used to support the work of the Song Saa Foundation. The Foundation is based in Cambodia and works to promote the health and wellbeing of the land, sea and people of the Koh Rong archipelago, in the country's south.
An area of outstanding natural biodiversity and unique indigenous culture,the Archipelago is renown for having some of the largest remaining populations of sea turtles, migratory whale sharks, hornbills and primates of all Cambodia's islands.
Money raised through Allan's efforts will be shared out across the projects that the Foundation undertakes to conserve this special region. This includes
1. Song Saa Sea Turtles - A dedicated education programme, which works with the youngsters of the Archipelago to promote environmental awareness and engagement. Regular workshops are held on matters as diverse as mangrove forest conservation to the preservation of rain forest habitats. Student members, who range in age from 4 to 18 are given the opportunity to get 'hands on', helping to establish and operate both a mangrove and a rain forest nursery.
2. Marine Conservation - In 2006 Song Saa created Cambodia's first marine reserve, which ensured the protection of over 10,000 m2 of coral reef from overfishing. Since then the Foundation has introduced a much wider conservation programme, focusing on the collection of data to support the creation of Cambodia's first 'marine national park', which is scheduled to be created in 2016. The Foundation's work has been pioneering, leading efforts to ensure as sustainable future for the Koh Rong archipelago's unique marine life and the local villagers whose livelihood relies on the ocean.
3. Boat of Hope - The Archipelago contains eight or more islands, so in order to reach all of them and promote its work Foundation has created the Boat of Hope initiative. Using a dedicated vessel the Foundation's staff travel monthly to the various settlements in the Archipelago to undertake complete medical clinics and sustainability-themed workshops and events. Given the paucity of health support and education services in the region, the Boat of Hope has become a key way of ensuring that sustainability messages are passed on amongst the island's inhabitants.
4. Livelihood Support
A key challenge for the Archipelago’s inhabitants is ensuring a stable income source, particularly as the earnings from fishing have steadily declined over the last decade. To address this the Foundation has worked to identify new revenue streams for the villagers of the Archipelago. Prominent here has been an effort to foster organic vegetable production, with villagers growing vegetables, which they have been able to sell on to Song Saa Private Island. Families have also been able to sell their produce to other members of the community or to consume the vegetables and fruit themselves, thereby making a useful contribution to local nutritional health.
