National park set for ecotourism development

The Cambodian Ministry of Environment is developing a strategic plan to develop ecotourism in Jayavarman-Norodom Phnom Kulen National Park, focusing on enhancing local livelihoods, conserving biodiversity, and preserving traditional culture for future generations. A working group tasked with visiting important locations such as the Kesor Kol Sok An Phnom Kulen Research and Conservation Centre, Peung Takho or Peung Chruonh, O'Tachak and Wat Chas campgrounds, and scenic spots like waterfalls, caves, and historic statues is part of the arrangement. The park is well-known for its cultural heritage, historical significance, and supply of water for the province of Siem Reap. The construction of offices, infrastructure development, law enforcement, and other aspects of protected area management are all aided by the Cambodia Sustainable Landscape and Ecotourism Project (CSLEP).
