The Importance of Saving a Forest

Deforestation threatens thousands of species and has devastating consequences for humans. Forest loss jeopardizes human food and water security, threatens plants and animals with extinction, and contributes to climate change, putting communities and wildlife at increased risk of floods, droughts, infectious disease, and other natural disasters.


With your support, Wildlife Alliance’s Tropical Reforestation Project combats the impact of illegal logging and slash-and-burn farming practices while providing sustainable jobs to local residents. By replanting denuded rainforest areas, we are helping to maintain continuous forest cover and preserve a vital watershed, restore carbon absorption capacity in the Southern Cardamom Mountain Range, and repair gaps in the elephant corridor allowing elephants to move freely across their range and mitigate human-elephant conflicts.


In 2016, the Tropical Reforestation Project provided sustainable careers to over 90 workers from the community of Chi Phat who continued maintaining 733 hectares of reforestation fields. To date, Wildlife Alliance has planted over 1 million trees in the Southern Cardamom Mountain Range. Thank you for helping us to restore this vital ecosystem, and we hope you’ll continue to support this important project!
