Donor Spotlight
Wildlife Alliance would like to specially acknowledge and thank Trigger LLC for its very generous donation to help relocate and build a new ranger station in the Andong Tuek region of Cambodia's Cardamom Mountain range. The new station, strategically situated at the junction of the Chi Phat and Stung Proat rivers, will allow rangers to thoroughly patrol the region by foot, boat and motorcycle, and stop poachers accessing the protected forests by river in order to hunt illegally.
On behalf of our international team at Wildlife Alliance, thank you Trigger for your support! |
