Ms. Eang is a student at Baray High School in Kompong Thom province and is part of the US Embassy’s Access program. The program provides talented teens from economically disadvantaged backgrounds English language foundations to help them secure better jobs. The Kouprey Express (Wildlife Alliance’s environmental education program) visited the Access program students at their school and taught them the importance of protecting Cambodia’s forests and wildlife. After the classroom lessons, Ms. Eang and her classmates were brought on a field trip by the Kouprey Express to Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center where they learned more about wildlife and met animals that were victims of the wildlife trade that had been rescued by Wildlife Alliance. Watch this video of Ms. Eang explaining how vital it is to not only protect wildlife and forests but that we must all work together now for conservation.
It is with your help that we are able to bring students to meet wildlife first hand at the rescue center. Thank you!
