Program Rationale. Cambodia’s re-emergence from armed conflict and political insecurity in the 1990s coincided with growing international awareness of the global scale of environmental degradation and its implications for human well-being and economic stability. Income inequality, high unemployment, and conflicts over land and other natural resources all pose challenges to Cambodia’s economic development. Approximately 80% of the population lives in rural areas, and an estimated 70% of these people rely almost entirely on farming, fisheries, and forestry for their livelihoods. During the 1990s, Cambodia included provisions to protect the environment in its new Constitution and ratified a number of international treaties that protect biodiversity, forests, fisheries and wildlife, and reduce climate change effects. Direct threats to biodiversity in Cambodia include forest loss and degradation; opportunistic development (unsustainable logging, mining, and agro-industry practices); overexploitation of key species; overfishing and illegal fishing techniques; illegal harvesting of forest products; and the illegal wildlife trade. These direct threats to biodiversity are exacerbated by underlying conditions including: a lack of transparency in natural resource use and in the granting of Economic Land Concessions (ELCs); insecure land tenure rights; a lack of participation of stakeholders in NRM; conflicting jurisdictions for natural resources; poverty; and undervaluing ecological services such as water quantity and quality regulation and carbon sequestration. Healthy wildlife populations – including endangered species such as elephant, gaur, banteng, tiger and Asiatic black bears – are at risk due to habitat loss, hunting and wildlife trafficking. With national forest cover estimated at 55% according to the 2010 Forest Resources Assessment from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Cambodia has one of the highest percentages of forest cover in the region. The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has adopted a Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to maintain 60% forest cover, and has a target of placing two million hectares under Community Forest (CF) management. This would constitute approximately 20% of Cambodia’s forested area. As of 2011, 400,000 hectares are under CF management through almost 450 community forests, only 100 of which have CF legal agreements in place giving them official legal status.
