{"Location":{"Latitude":"11.6813417","Longitude":"103.0258043"},"Category":"Partners","BasicData":{"Name_Of_Org":"For the Animals","Country":"Cambodia","Region":"Southern Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia. ","Primary_Conservation_Action":"STOP Trade & Trafficking ","Secondary_Conservation_Action":"PROTECT Nature & Wild Habitat","Solution_Website":"https://fortheanimals.org.au/","Support_Link":"https://www.wildlifealliance.org/history/"},"Description":{"Problem_Statement":"Working with our partners Wildlife Alliance, we have funded patrol units to protect an area around a Wildlife Release Station in Cambodia. When the Wildlife Release Station was established, there were no animals in the area due to heavy hunting/poaching.","Support_Needed":"Our organisation carries out a limited number of activities to enable people and animals to thrive in healthy ecosystems. Collaborating with organisations working toward similar goals using different approaches from ours creates synergies and strengthens everyone involved. ","Activities_To_Solve_The_Problem":"Our projects align perfectly with several of the activities on the Solutions Map.","Description_Of_Solution":"A group of patrol units was established to protect the forest in an 8 km radius around the Wildlife Release Station. The patrol members are from the nearby village of Chi Phat which evolved from a poaching village to an eco-tourism village through assistance from Wildlife Alliance. The project provides salary, insurance, equipment and food to a group of men and women that protect the forest from hunting and snares and monitor signs of wildlife during their patrols. ","Result_And_Outcome":"The area is now populated by various animals that were victims of wildlife trafficking who were rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into nature. We have used camera traps and radio collars to monitor the growth in populations. There are birds now singing everywhere!"}}
