Recognising and rewarding the contribution of Indigenous knowledge for the sustainable management of biodiversity
Country: Cambodia
Lead Partner: Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), USA
Summary: The project will identify innovative solutions to support Indigenous management of biodiversity by understanding the Bunong people’s knowledge and practices for sustainable use of biodiversity in Cambodia. It will also investigate the co-design of novel incentives, such as procurement auctions, to support Indigenous stewardship of biodiversity in Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary (KSWS). Project outputs will directly influence the KSWS REDD+ project and will inform environmental policy in Cambodia and globally.
