Phnom Penh: The United States is strongly committed to combating the international illegal timber and wildlife trade and continues to support Ministry of Environment rangers in their mission to protect Cambodia’s natural resources.
According to the US Embassy in Cambodia’s Facebook page on September 28, US law enforcement agencies and the Wildlife Conservation Society organized a training course for Cambodian Ministry of Environment rangers working at the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in Mondulkiri province.
The training focused on strengthening the capacity of park rangers to investigate illegal timber smuggling. In addition, the session introduced representatives from the Ministry of Environment to the “Arbortron” tool, which is designed to identify and track illegally logged trees.
By equipping local park rangers with advanced law enforcement tools, this international collaboration helps protect critical natural ecosystems, protect U.S. economic interests, and combat environmental crime at its source.
