While we are energized by this exciting time for our organization and thrilled to welcome Donna, Maggie, Beth, and Chloe into our Wildlife Alliance family, we would like to recognize the work done by our amazing team in DC, Michael Zwirn and Allison Bender.  We will miss their enthusiasm and dedication to the mission of Wildlife Alliance and we wish them well in their upcoming endeavors!

Rare Cub Rescued from Soldier

On October 5^th, Wildlife Alliance’s Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team (WRRT) successfully rescued a sun bear cub being held captive at a military base in Preah Vihear province. The perpetrator, a Cambodian soldier, was set to sell this 10-kilogram endangered species for $1,000, most likely to a bear farm in Vietnam.

When Wildlife Alliance heard of the news, our WRRT worked with the Forestry Administration to gain access to the military base. According to Wildlife Alliance’s program manager, Lesley Perlman, forestry officials as well as WA team members “first went to speak to the regional military commander, who then aided the team in raising awareness about the law [against the illegal trafficking of endangered species].”

Although the meeting with the perpetrator was “tense”, the outcome was successful. Ultimately, the sun bear cub was handed over to WRRT members and transferred to our Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre to receive care and any treatment needed.  Through this episode, we were able raise awareness among the soldiers of the laws governing wildlife and the consequences of illegally trading endangered species.

Although no charges were brought against the soldier since he voluntarily handed the cub over to Wildlife Alliance, this case highlights the need for greater law enforcement. “In Cambodia, stronger law enforcement is needed to combat the illegal trade in wildlife on the ground,” Perlman said. She continues, “Regionally, both demand and supply side efforts are needed.” On average, Wildlife Alliance confiscates 10 endangered bears a year.  Sun bears are used as pets or in traditional Chinese medicine where their paws and gall bladder bile are highly prized. 

Wildlife Alliance Shines at Ecotourism Conference in Cambodia

Wildlife Alliance attended the 3^rd World Ecotourism Conference in Sihanoukville, Cambodia at the beginning of this month.  With its focus on “Charting the Future of Ecotourism in Asia,” it was a perfect opportunity to showcase our community-based ecotourism projects in Chi Phat and Trapeang Roung.  The event attracted over 300 government officials, tourism ministers, ecotourism specialists, and business.  Cambodia’s growing emphasis on ecotourism and Chi Phat’s current status as the #1 ecotourism destination the country, the conference served as an incredible referendum on the work we’ve been doing there. 

During a session on “Local Community Challenges & Success Stories,” Suwanna gave a very well-received and well-attended presentation on how to develop attractive, sustainable and successful community ecotourism projects.  At this and at several other sessions, Suwanna and Wildlife Alliance’s projects were heralded as leaders in the field.  With the opening of the Trapeang Roung site just this summer, Wildlife Alliance continues to be a standard bearer on the burgeoning ecotourism scene in Cambodia and it was humbling to be recognized by our colleagues in this way!  While Suwanna presented our philosophy, project manager Harold de Martimprey manned our booth in the exhibition hall and revealed our newly redesigned ecotourism website.

End of the Year Wish List 

Now that it’s officially fall and thoughts have turned towards the end of year, our thoughts have turned towards accomplishing some small project goals before 2012.  There is still time to make a gift to Wildlife Alliance and help us make a difference in the lives of our forest rangers, Cambodian school children, community members, and rescued wildlife.

Handheld GPS Units for Forest Rangers $2,000

At each of our 6 ranger stations in Southern Cardamom Forest, two rotating teams of patrols are on alert 24 hours a day.  They are often trekking through dense forest and on unknown stretches of river in the search for illegal loggers and wildlife poachers.  It is important for them to have up to date geo-tracking systems both so that they can find their way but also so that can maintain accurate locations of illegal activity.

Art Supplies for Kouprey Express $4,500

Our mobile environmental education unit, the Kouprey Express, teaches school children living around protected areas about wildlife conservation and environmental awareness.  These lessons are taught in the classroom by KE team members and teachers they have trained in various ways, one of which is by making art.  More than 3500 students are reached each year and supplies are necessary to carry through the important work of educating future generations about the importance of preserving their environment

Animal Capture Equipment for Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team $1,000

When the Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team heads out on raids, they oftentimes do not have a clear picture of all they might encounter when they get there.  In order to safely capture and transport whatever kind of wildlife they might find, they need a variety of secure and humane tools to protect both the animals and team members.

Baby Nursery for Care for Rescued Wildlife $5,000

At Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center, sometimes very young animals arrive that require specialized care.  In order to provide this kind of care, an area dedicated solely to the needs of the youngest animals must be established.  A location and facility have been identified and created, and now it just needs to be equipped with the right instruments. 

Red Cross Training for Community-Based Ecotourism $3,000

The community-based ecotourism project in the Chi Phat commune sees an average of over 100 tourists per month.  Community members are responsible for the comfort and safety of each one of those visitors.  In order to stay up to date with safety protocols, community members must be retrained and recertified by the Cambodian Red Cross every year.  At a cost of only $30 per person, 100 community members could be recertified through the next year and improve the level of service we are able to offer at Cambodia’s most popular ecotourism destination.
