KOUPREY EXPRESS

Wildlife Alliance created Cambodia’s only mobile environmental education unit, the Kouprey Express (KE), in 2005. The KE does not just raise awareness or educate people on the value of conservation and biodiversity protection.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, the KE works directly with students, teachers, schools, and villages, providing creative, fun and tailored hands-on lessons and activities to improve knowledge about the environment and what people can do to protect it.

ENVIRONMENTAL CURRICULUM

This is achieved through a comprehensive, interactive environmental curriculum program focusing on youth, teachers, and communities as a whole:

Student lessons, which focus on wildlife and habitat protection, climate change and adaptation, pollution prevention and other important environmental issues conducted in an interactive, fun, and memorable way that ensures lasting impact. These lessons include a colorful and informative presentation, wildlife art activities, and environmentally-themed games, as well as tree planting and plastic and waste collection for their school campuses.

Teacher and peer educator training on core environmental issues as well as supplies and ongoing follow-up support as needed to integrate these concepts into their core curriculum. Students and teachers alike are excited about these lessons and activities and share these concepts with their families, friends, and neighbors, ensuring an impact beyond just the classroom.

Community Night Shows, Door-2-Door outreach, and events that focus on the illegal wildlife trade, the importance of protecting forests and biodiversity, and Cambodia’s wildlife laws. These shows, events, and outreach activities are designed for families and entire households of multiple generations, giving community members the opportunity to learn and also share their ideas on how to protect their communities’ natural resources.

Field trips to Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center to meet wild animals rescued from the wildlife trade. These trips offer students and teachers the chance to put their new knowledge to the test to identify different species based on classroom lessons while seeing firsthand the impact of wildlife trafficking.

Partnership Opportunity: If you would like the Kouprey Express to visit your school or NGO, please contact project manager Mr. Ying Horn at +855-92-555-677 (Telegram) or at [email protected].

YOUTH

Our wildlife education program at schools promotes a conservation ethic, facilitates continued environmental education and empowers students to become environmental stewards in their communities. Students learn about the environmental threats facing their communities, and more importantly, what they can do to protect Cambodia’s forests and wildlife.

TEACHERS

The Kouprey Express travels to remote rural schools and gives teachers the tools and materials they need to bring conservation education into their classrooms and deeply engage their students. Teacher training is not only for teachers. It is for anyone of any age at any workplace who is interested to help educate their peers and families on how to protect their natural heritage.

COMMUNITIES

Community Night Shows are an excellent way to provide family-friendly, effective edu-entertainment to whole villages.  The Kouprey Express also conducts Door-2-Door outreach, which was born out necessity during social distancing requirements during COVID, visiting with multiple generations under one roof.

This has been so well-received and proven not only popular but effective that this has been mainstreamed into our core programming in both rural and urban areas.

FIELD TRIPS

To reinforce classroom lessons and activities, we take students to visit the Wildlife Rescue Center at Phnom Tamao, for a look at the animals they have been learning about and meet victims rescued from the wildlife trade.

These trips forever change the attitudes of students, teachers, and community members who see firsthand the consequences of wildlife and habitat destruction and learn the importance of preserving their natural heritage.
