  • Comment: Hi User:Yann! Thanks for the hint with the logo. I followed the instructions and had Save Cambodia's Wildlife send a confirmation email that it's ok to use the logo. What else do i have to do to get the logo approved? THANKS!User:AnRoCa User talk:AnRoCa 3.21, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment: If I had to make a decision on this one right now, it would have been declined. Provide independent, reliable and secondary sources that cover the subject in detail. Wikipedia and Facebook can't be used as sources, remove it. Has any newspaper (print/online), news channel, book or peer-reviewed journal covered the subject in detail? If yes, then provide the details. If not, then I would suggest waiting for some time. Also, you should post your comments on the talk page and not on the draft page. I have moved your comment on the talk page. Dial911 (talk) 22:17, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sourcing typically just mentions the comp in passing. Sulfurboy (talk) 04:31, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment: After some thought and clean up, I have decided to decline. A lot of the references I've left behind after removing social media, press releases, and references not mention SCW barely mention SCW at all (with the exception of a couple of references behind a paywall, and one or two not in English).
    It could very well be that Save Cambodia's Wildlife doesn't yet qualify for an article.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 04:34, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Save Cambodia's Wildlife (SCW), founded in 1999 and established in 2002, is a national NGO (non-government organization) working for the protection and conservation of natural resources and wildlife habitats throughout Cambodia. The organizations goal is to raise awareness on climate change, wildlife protection and environmental issues in general..[1]. SCW has its' head office in Phnom Penh and operates with 3 field offices in Banlung (Ratanakiri), Kratie (Kratie) and Siem Pang (Stung Treng).

The work approach is Conservation through Education as means of empowerment and change, using book publications, teaching programs and awareness campaigns to reach all levels of society[2][3]. Over the last 15 years, the NGO supported 15 projects in 8 Cambodian provinces, contributing to the conservation of more than 510,700 hectare of forest and wildlife habitat[4]. Focus of SCW's work are sustainable Natural Resource Management - including setup of Community Protected Areas (CPA)[5] and Community Fisheries (CFi), Climate Change[6], Environmental Education[7] and Alternative Livelihood Options[8], in order to face Cambodia's main environmental challenges, which are deforestation[9], illegal logging, poaching and destruction of wildlife habitats.

Certification

SCW is GPP[10] certified, a Cambodian NGO Governance & Professional Practice award.

History

SCW was started as Wildlife Rescue Initiative in 1999 by Ms. Kit Whitney, a US-American teacher, and officially registered with the Ministry of Interior on 29 July 2002 (Registration No. 728). In the first years, SCW’s work focused on training animal keeps and educating society on environmental awareness, collaborating with Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre and Kampot Zoo. From May 2002 until June 2006, Ms. Lim SOLINN[11] lead SCW as Director, focusing on book publications and further teaching projects.

In July 2006, Mr. TEP Boonny was appointed Executive Director, guiding SCW to continuously adapting and improving its’ operation. He initiated the acquisition of international donors and partners, to allow the organization to further grow and to boost future oriented possibilities. By initiating Youth Debates in 2002 and milestone publications like the Atlas of Cambodia in 2014, the NGO has become an important actor for change in Cambodia[12][13][14][15][16][17] to improve Cambodia's environmental future.

Publications

Atlas of Cambodia

The second edition of The Atlas of Cambodia[18][19], published in 2014, reflects recent developments in Cambodia and provides up to date knowledge and analysis of the changing spatial structures of Cambodia as well as its economic and social patterns, especially linked to natural resources and environmental management, such as Biodiversity, Climate, Health, Education, Agriculture, Ethnic Minorities and Economic Development. Produced in cooperation with GIZ, The Asia Foundation, Oxfam[20][21] and ForumSyd[22], in partnership with Open Development Cambodia[23]

Children's story books

Since 2002, SCW published 7 children's story books - among them Samnang and the Giant Catfish[24], published in 2006, which feature environmental topics in English and Khmer, and are prepared in a child friendly way with colorful illustrations. These books were realized with support from various partners, including AusAID, DANIDA, DED, Fauna and Flora International, The Asia Foundation, USAID, United States Fish and Wildlife Service and WWF. These publications were also supported by the Cambodian government via The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and The Ministry of Environment - Department of Conservation and Protection.

Eco-tourism

SCW established and to-date supports two Eco-Tourism-Projects in Mondul Yorn[25] and Prek Thnout[26][27]. The Community-Based approach ensures an alternative source of income instead of poaching or illegal logging in protected areas. Furthermore, cultural exchange between the community and tourists raises awareness on local issues and encourages personal growth[28]
