The Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism project has been implemented in Cambodia since 2016.

FAO and the Regional Community Forestry Training Centre for Asia and the Pacific (RECOFTC) have been equipping forest communities with the technical capacity and funds needed to address forest degradation and promote restoration activities, in conjunction with the Cambodian government’s Community Forestry initiative. The project helps sustainably manage natural resources on five pilot sites, covering more than 52 hectares across Cambodia’s Kampong Thom, Siem Reap and Preah Vihear regions.

By reforesting degraded areas, the project has given a lifeline to the environment and the community.
