This project will build on several years of elephant-themed education and outreach through the Kouprey Express mobile unit, focusing on protecting the elephants of the Southwest Elephant Corridor (SWEC) in the Southern Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia.

An elephant conservation board game, aimed at children will be produced by Wildlife Alliance and distributed to rural communities in and around the South West Elephant Corridor. By playing the board game - guiding a lost baby elephant back to its parents - children will learn about habitat conservation, the illegal wildlife trade, and elephant facts and figures.

With complementary funding from the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Asian Elephants Conservation Fund, Wildlife Alliance is also creating a "Choose Your Own Adventure" styled publication for Cambodian schoolchildren to highlight issues related to human-elephant conflict and increase conservation awareness. The book and game will be distributed to rural schools and communities by the Kouprey Express, Wildlife Alliance's mobile environmental education unit, and made available at wildlife rescue and education facilities across Cambodia in partnership with other conservation organizations.
