Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains

FFI has been supporting government efforts to support the highly diverse Cardamom Mountains Range. Its forests are some of the region’s largest remaining habitats for tiger and elephant but are also home to some of the poorest people in Cambodia, many of whom are from a cultural minority that was particularly persecuted under the Pol Pot Regime in the 1970s.
