The Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB) is an NGO in Cambodia. It is located in Siem Reap Province near the Angkor Wat temples. ACCB is the "first nature conservation and endangered wildlife rescue and breeding centre" in the country. It works towards the conservation of wildlife and biodiversity in Cambodia by nursing trafficked animals back to health. Major financial support has been provided by Dr. Stephan Goetz from Munich, Germany via the German foundation Stiftung Artenschutz, an initiative comprised of 50 zoos and nature conservation organisations.[1] The ACCB is a project (No. 04010) of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.[2] Free tours are available.[3]
