Lifestyle hardships
The Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary covers 298,000 hectares and is home to the Phnong ethnic group who are subsistence rice farmers.
Upland rice harvests are extremely insecure, and yield is lower than wetland rice crops: only 800-1000 kg / hectare, compared to 1-3 tons per hectare in lowland areas. Upland rice provides only 4-6 months’ security in average years, and as little as 2 months in lean years.
This leads to the communities being heavily dependent upon the forest and surrounding habitat for their livelihoods. They collect Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) such as resin, or trap wildlife. Local populations are therefore extremely vulnerable to natural resource availability and natural disaster.

Bringing alternatives
CRDT promotes alternative livelihood development in Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary to relieve the human burden on the environment. We complement Wildlife Conservation Society programs on land use planning and conservation activities.
CRDT works throughout Cambodia, with diverse communities. Over 80% of our projects focus on northeast Cambodia, especially Kratie, Stung Treng and Mondulkiri provinces. Over 60% of our projects are in protected areas, such as the River Dolphin Management Area, Stung Treng Ramsar Site and Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary.
CRDT focuses on working with the rural poor, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. We work with small scale farmers in villages. More than 20% of our projects involve indigenous people, such as the Phnong in Mondulkiri or the Koy in Kratie and Stung Treng.
