On World Toilet Day, we celebrate the impactful work of Wildlife Alliance, which through the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project, has built 74 toilets in rural communities addressing the sanitation crisis. We envision to build even more toilets to uplift and empower these communities. #wildlifealliance #SouthernCardamomREDDPlus #WorldToiletDay #Cambodia

Let's protect our planet on International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. The ozone layer shields us from harmful UV-B radiation. Carbon in the atmosphere threatens the ozone layer, but trees help by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.  Let's continue preserving the Cardamom Rainforest and planting more trees to safeguard our environment #wildlifealliance #InternationalDayForThePreservationOfTheOzoneLayer #CardamomsForever #Cambodia

We are pleased that Verra has lifted the hold on the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project following an extensive 14-month review. After reexamining eight years of our work and independent audits, Verra found no non-conformities and has now: •Lifted the hold with immediate effect. •Reconfirmed that the project meets the VCS, CCB and SD VISta standards. •Approved actions for the project’s continuous improvement that go above and beyond the requirements of Verra’s standards. These actions – most of which have been implemented or are already underway – stem from our ongoing consultation with local communities and were planned prior to Verra’s review. They include measures to enhance communication between communities and forest rangers, engage pro bono legal support for communities, expand human rights training for rangers, and establish a new community-managed fund. Most importantly, the project continues to have strong community support. This year, 93% of participating community members voted in favor of the project. However, despite this support and today’s positive news, the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project and all it has achieved is under threat. After more than a year on hold and unable to issue Verified Emissions Reductions (VERs), we have been implementing the project on a shoestring budget. During this time, threats to the forest persisted and thousands of local people looked to the project for funding to provide clean drinking water, increase food security, and for healthcare and education. Now that the hold has been lifted, we will do everything we can to meet this urgent need and deliver essential funding to the communities of the Southern Cardamoms - to continue to improve their situation while protecting this vital forest ecosystem. #Cambodia #WildlifeAlliance #SouthernCardamomREDD #CommunitySupport #Community https://lnkd.in/ghvY7m7x

Yesterday, on September 8th, 2024, marking International Literacy Day, we should remember that every student in rural areas deserves the chance to pursue higher education. Thanks to the Southern Cardamoms REDD+ Project, 16 of our scholars have been able to do so, with 5 of them graduating successfully this year. Additionally, the project has created 7 scholarship opportunities for students in rural areas to pursue a bachelor's degree and General English for 4 years. #wildlifealliance #InternationalLiteracyDay #scholarshipopportunities #Cambodia
