Cambodia's "Green Fund" Project Restores 39 Hectares of Forest
In Cambodia's Kampong Thom province, 28,000 saplings were planted across 39 hectares of degraded forest as part of the "Green Fund" project supported by the Ministry of Environment. Local communities and authorities collaborated to restore areas affected by natural disasters and human activities.
In the Skul Kroch Natural Protected Area Community in Kampong Thom province, Cambodia, 28,000 saplings were planted on September 2, 2026, across 39 hectares of degraded forest. This initiative, supported by the "Green Fund" project under the Ministry of Environment, aims to restore lost forest cover. Led by the Ministry of Environment through the "Green Fund" project, the activity mobilized the Skul Kroch community and local authorities to participate in tree planting in areas where forests have been degraded by natural and human factors. Parts of the forest were damaged by wildfires, natural events, and encroachment for agricultural land. Restoring these areas can help bring back the lost forest, protect land and water, and provide a healthy forest for the community to benefit from in the future. The "Green Fund" project, supported by the Green Climate Fund, is working with communities not only on planting saplings but also on protecting remaining forests and maintaining newly restored areas to ensure the growth of trees and the eventual recovery of the forest over time.
