Mangrove Habitat Demonstration Site Information Resources | Project Document for the Peam Krasop Mangrove Demo Site
| Site Name and Geographic Coordinates Name: Peam Krasop Mangrove/Wetland Demonstration Site Latitude: 11 25 N to 11 35 N Longitude: 102 57 E to 103 09 E The overall goal is to promote wise and sustainable uses of the natural resources in Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary. RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary is the only national protected area that consists of a pristine mangrove forest area in Cambodia. Importantly, this Wildlife Sanctuary is associated with the Koh Kapik Ramsar Site, which has been designated as an internationally important wetland for the migratory waterfowl. In spite of national and international obligations to protect and manage the site, the interests of the very significant numbers of people living and surviving upon the natural resources of site must be taken into consideration in any long-term plans for sustainable use of the area. Conflicts between local communities, local authorities, sanctuary authorities and others, with regard to natural resource use, have been increasing. Although PKWS was designated as a National Wildlife Sanctuary with International Wetland Importance; policy, strategy and management plan have not yet been put in place. Best practices in community-based resource management and conservation have not been fully applied to date.
Objectives: 1. To develop; in full consultation with all stakeholders, government, private sector and civil society; a management plan (including strategy, regulation and monitoring guideline) for the sustainable use of the natural resources in PKWS; 2. To restore degraded mangrove and wetland areas; 3. To support local communities in improving their livelihoods through mechanisms including partnership with private sector investors and NGOs; 4. To promote understanding of wetlands and mangroves among local communities and authorities; 5. To improve the knowledge and skills of government officials, local authorities and communities with respect to wetland and mangrove management. OUTCOMES The desired outcomes from the project intervention are as follows: 1. A comprehensive management plan (including strategy, regulation, and monitoring guideline) for mangrove and wetland resources in PKWS will be in place, drafted, accepted by the stakeholders and approved by the government; 2. Degraded areas 2500 ha of mangrove will be restored; 3. Strong support from private sector and local NGOs, to alternative income generation; 4. Local communities and authorities will be aware of and understand the significance of mangrove and wetland resources; 5. The capacity of local authorities will be built to enable them to manage the mangrove and wetland resources in a sustainable manner following completion of the project.
