“”Bird watchers come from all over the world to visit Tmat Boey to see the very rare birds that you have there, and what we”ve helped do is motivate community members to support conservation of these very rare birds. They could make money out of hunting birds and eating them or selling them but we”re helping motivate them to make money out of the live birds and conserving these extremely rare species.”

“It”s difficult to actually assess how the communities perceive the conservation directly. But what you can look at is their motivation and if you look at the rates of hunting, the rates of illegal logging and that sort of thing, they”ve dropped away dramatically. And then the important final outcome is what are the birds doing, how many birds are there and each year since the start of this development of ecotourism in Tmat Boey and the Northern Plains of Cambodia where we work, the birds have increased.”
