South West Elephant Corridor (SWEC)

The SWEC is facing severe land encroachment, illegal logging and wildlife poaching which is destroying elephant habitats and damaging the ecosystem. Our strategy is recruiting, training, and assisting groups of ranger patrol units who protect endangered species and habitats.

To solve the problems of deforestation and poaching in the heart of the Southern Cardamoms, Wildlife Alliance is helping slash and burn farmers develop permanent agriculture so they no longer need to burn the forest and hunt wildlife for survival. 

Wildlife Alliance launched the acclaimed Kouprey Express mobile education center to teach Cambodian villagers of wildlife and forestry laws and help them manage their resources while protecting high-biodiversity areas in rural Cambodia including villages, schools, and community centers.

 National Awareness Outreach Campaign

Wildlife Alliance works to reduce consumer demand for wildlife products in Cambodia through media and public awareness campaigns urging the public to stop purchasing wildlife products or destroying wildlife and habitats.

 Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team (WRRT)

In collaboration with Cambodian law enforcement agencies. Wildlife Alliance counters the trade by stopping shipments of wildlife products on national roads and cities throughout Cambodia and on the borders of other Southeast Asian nations.

 Care for Rescued Wildlife (CRW)

Wildlife Alliance's Care for Rescued Wildlife program supports a government-managed wildlife rescue center that provides a refuge for victims of the illegal wildlife trade. Wildlife Alliance supports key staff positions at PTWRC such as animal husbandry specialists and veterinarians, and funds and designs appropriate enclosures, veterinary care, and feeding for tigers, gibbons, elephants, and many other wildlife species.
