This project will also improve livelihood strategies, develop eco-tourism to Prey Proseth Village (Prey Proseth Elephant Conservation Community) due to its natural beauty and as a result of changed farming practices to "elephant-friendly" methods and non-palatable crops, raise awareness at the local level of the importance of clear and strategic land-use planning and the economic and financial benefits it can bring, increase academic and practical capacity of Khmer staff from grassroots to national level which will help to underwrite the long-term sustainability of the CECG programme, and reduce Human-Elephant conflict and stress on surrounding pristine elephant habitat.
IEF funding supports salaries of national project staff, community equipment and supplies such as a tractor and crop seeds, training materials.
