In late August, the Kouprey Express Team (KE) conducted two trips to Phnom Tamao Zoo, Takeo province. There were 92 teachers and 578 students from Kampong Speu province’s 4 core-schools – having Prambeymoom, Samroung, Phumin, and Watbeng core-school.
This was a yet another great, happy trip with one another as we have done so many times with communities and schools from all around Cambodia. We continue steadfast in our mission so that all Cambodians know about wildlife and how to protect it, and also to give them an opportunity see firsthand the amazing natural heritage that can be found here and also the effects of human (in)action that is threatening their survival, such as poaching, snaring, and deforestation.
We hope that the community members and especially the younger generations will set a great example for older generations and generations to come and be inspired to join together to protect Cambodia’s wild animals and forests after visiting Phnom Tamao with us.
