About This Project

  • Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary is on the front lines of deforestation, with nearby unprotected areas severely affected. It encompasses 20 villages and supports 13,000 local community members.
  • The sanctuary is home to critically endangered species, such as the black-shanked douc and the iconic Asian elephant and serves as both the ancestral and present-day home of the Indigenous Bunong people.
  • The Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary REDD+ Project protects forest ecosystems by preventing deforestation and degradation, enhancing carbon storage and biodiversity conservation.
  • REDD+ is a market-based mechanism that rewards forest conservation and wildlife protection by compensating for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions achieved through conservation efforts.
