Sam Veasna Conservation Tours (SVC)

About us

Sam Veasna Center for Wildlife Conservation was established in 2003 in memory of pioneering Cambodian Conservationist Sam Veasna, we were registered as a local NGO with the Ministry of Interior in 2006. We provide an alternative sustainable livelihood from ecotourism for the local communities at the sites that WCS prioritizes for conservation. In return for the income and employment received they are asked to sign no-hunting and land-use agreements, which are monitored by Ministry of Environment and the forestry patrol teams advised by WCS. As of 2019, Sam Veasnas legacy lives on under the new name- Sam Veasna Conservation Tours
