This project aims to create a new generation of forest guardians in Cambodia and Lao PDR. The initiative will empower 30 young people, with equal gender representation, to effectively promote sustainable forest management and conservation in their communities and beyond. It focuses on enhancing youth awareness about forest conservation, wildlife and forest crimes and sustainable forest management practices.

The project will support youth-led awareness campaigns across various platforms and foster cross-border collaboration, enabling participants to become influential advocates for forest protection in their regions.

This project is supported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), through generous funding provided by the Government of Canada.
