About
SOUTHERN CARDAMOM FOREST PROTECTION PROGRAM: THE SOUTHERN CARDAMOM FOREST PROTECTION PROGRAM (SCFPP) PROVIDES ON-THE-GROUND PROTECTION TO ONE OF ASIA'S LAST REMAINING ELEPHANT CORRIDORS. THE CARDAMOM MOUNTAINS RAINFOREST IS HOME TO OVER 55 IUCN THREATENED WILDLIFE SPECIES AND IS A 200 GLOBAL ECOREGION AND THEREFORE ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION PLACES ON THE PLANET. . LOCATED IN THE INDO-BURMESE PENINSULA, AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT, THE CARDAMOM MOUNTAIN RANGE IS THE REGION'S MOST IMPORTANT WATERSHED AND CARBON SINK. SCFPP PROVIDES DIRECT PROTECTION TO OVER 830,000 HECTARES OF TROPICAL FOREST AND ADDRESSES THE LOCAL DRIVERS OF DEFORESTATION THROUGH (1) ZONING AND DEMARCATION OF PROTECTED FORESTLAND; (2) ADVOCACY AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT TO CANCEL AGRO-INDUSTRIAL AND MINING LAND CONCESSIONS; (3) DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOODS IN AGRICULTURE, ECOTOURISM, AND REFORESTATION FOR POOR LANDLESS FARMERS PRACTICING DESTRUCTIVE FOREST SLASH-AND-BURN; (4) RANGER PATROL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO STOP WILDLIFE POACHING, ILLEGAL LOGGING AND FORESTLAND CLEARINGS. WILDLIFE ALLIANCE, FORESTRY ADMINISTRATION AND THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT ARE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP TO IMPLEMENT THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO CONSERVATION. WILDLIFE ALLIANCE'S OVER TWO DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT SHOWS THAT A THREAT-BASED METHODOLOGY IS THE ONLY EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY WITH MEASURABLE RESULTS. THAT IS WHY DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOODS FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES IS NOT ENOUGH. RAMPANT WILDLIFE POACHING, ILLEGAL LOGGING AND ENCROACHMENT ON FORESTLAND - WHICH ARE OFTEN CONDUCTED BY WELL-ORGANIZED, WELL-FUNDED INDIVIDUALS AND NETWORKS FROM OUTSIDE THE AREA - CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT ON THE GROUND. THE SOUTHERN CARDAMOMS HAVE BEEN UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE SINCE 2002, WHEN A TRANS-BOUNDARY FREEWAY WAS CONSTRUCTED THROUGH THE TROPICAL FOREST, OPENING VAST TRACKS OF WILDERNESS TO REAL ESTATE SPECULATORS AND COMMERCIAL HUNTERS. IN JUST A FEW MONTHS, HUNDREDS OF HECTARES OF STATE FORESTLAND WERE SOLD IN ILLEGAL TRANSACTIONS AND 37 ASIAN ELEPHANTS WERE KILLED. TO BRING THE SITUATION BACK UNDER CONTROL, CAMBODIA'S FORESTRY ADMINISTRATION CALLED WILDLIFE ALLIANCE FOR ASSISTANCE. PATROL UNITS WERE RECRUITED, TRAINED AND EQUIPPED, THREE SMALL RANGER STATIONS WERE ESTABLISHED, AND SYSTEMATIC PATROLLING WAS IMPLEMENTED. A PROVINCE-WIDE CAMPAIGN WAS CONDUCTED, INFORMING ALL VILLAGERS THAT THE NEW FORESTRY LAW 2002 WOULD DELIVER STRICT PROSECUTIONS FOR ANY FURTHER ELEPHANT KILLINGS. AS A RESULT OF THE PATROLLING AND THE CAMPAIGN, ELEPHANT DEATHS WERE REDUCED BY 98%, TIGER DEATHS WERE REDUCED BY 50% AND FOREST FIRES WERE REDUCED BY 80%. ONLY 4 ELEPHANTS WERE REPORTED KILLED IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS 2003-2012. AT THE SAME TIME, WILDLIFE ALLIANCE AND THE FORESTRY ADMINISTRATION ADDRESSED THE ISSUE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT SELLING STATE FORESTS UNDER THE TABLE BY CONDUCTING A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND ZONING AND DEMARCATION OPERATION THAT INVOLVED PROVINCIAL, DISTRICT AND COMMUNE AUTHORITIES AS WELL AS 3 MINISTRIES FROM CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. AS A RESULT, 401 CASES OF FORESTLAND ENCROACHMENT AND OVER 500 LAND TITLE CLAIMS WERE CANCELLED IN JUST THE FIRST 9 MONTHS OF OPERATIONS (APRIL TO DECEMBER 2002). ZONING OF FREEWAY NO. 48 WAS OFFICIALLY FINALIZED AND SIGNED IN NOVEMBER 2003. PRECISE UTM BOUNDARIES FOR EACH COMMUNE AND EACH STRICTLY PROTECTED FOREST SEGMENT ARE STILL IN EFFECT TODAY.RANGER PATROLSTODAY, THERE ARE 7 RANGER STATIONS WITH AN AVERAGE OF PATROLLING OVER 120,000 KM EACH YEAR. SCFPP PATROLS HAVE CONTINUOUSLY ENSURED RESPECT FOR DEMARCATION BOUNDARIES SINCE 2003 AND SYSTEMATICALLY ENFORCED THE LAW BY TAKING TO COURT ALL CASES OF FOREST CLEARING AND LAND ENCROACHMENT. WHENEVER MILITARY, HIGH LEVEL OFFICIALS OR POWERFUL BUSINESS PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO GRAB FORESTLAND, FAST REPORTS HAVE BEEN SENT TO A SPECIAL INTER-MINISTERIAL LAND USE COMMITTEE FOR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION. TODAY, SCFPP PATROL UNITS ARE SAFEGUARDING THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN CARDAMOMS, 127 KM FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AND 121 KM FROM EAST TO WEST. CONSTANT VIGILANCE IS THE COST OF KEEPING THE SOUTHERN CARDAMOM FOREST SAFE AND MAINTAINING ITS HIGH LEVEL OF BIODIVERSITY. WITHOUT WILDLIFE ALLIANCE'S CONTINUED SUPPORT, THE SOUTHERN CARDAMOM TROPICAL RAINFOREST IS AT RISK OF BEING CLEARED FOR CONVERSION TO AGRICULTURE, INDUSTRY AND REAL ESTATE SALES. TAKING CASES TO COURT WILDLIFE ALLIANCE MONITORS THE PROCESS OF TAKING OFFENDERS TO COURT AND ENSURING FOLLOW-UP ON ALL COURT CASES, BY CONSISTENTLY BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF FORESTRY ADMINISTRATION AND MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT OFFICERS AND REINFORCING GOOD GOVERNANCE. WHEN OFFENDERS ARE CAUGHT, THE RANGERS FILL OUT THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND BRING THE OFFENDERS TO THE PROVINCIAL CANTONMENT FORESTRY OFFICE, SECURE THE TRANSFER LETTER TO ATTACH TO THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS, TRANSPORT THE OFFENDER TO THE COURT AND COLLECT THE COURT HANDOVER DOCUMENT. THE RANGERS ACCOMPANY THE OFFENDERS THROUGH THE COURT PROCESS, ASSURING THAT APPROPRIATE LEGAL PROCEDURES ARE APPLIED. REPORTING MONTHLY REPORTS ARE AN INDISPENSABLE ELEMENT TO MAINTAINING GOAL ACHIEVEMENT BECAUSE (A) THEY ENABLE MANAGEMENT TO MONITOR ACTIVITIES BASED ON TRENDS OVER TIME AND (B) BUILD CAPACITY OF THE STATION RANGERS IN UNDERSTANDING THREATS AND CURRENT ISSUES AND HOW TO MODIFY/IMPROVE NEXT MONTH'S PATROLLING TECHNIQUES TO OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES. REPORTS SYSTEMATICALLY TRACK ALL ACTIVITIES WITH METRICS. THESE INCLUDE: 1. PATROL ITINERARIES ARE TRACKED BY GPS AND MAPPED ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH GIS; 2. ALL FOREST CRIME CASES ARE DOCUMENTED, POACHING, LOGGING, LAND ENCROACHMENT, WITH PRECISE GPS LOCATIONS, PHOTOS OF EVIDENCE AND OFFENDERS, SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND REQUIRED FOLLOW-UP ACTION WITH DATES;3. ALL LEGAL DOCUMENTS ARE COPIED;4. ALL WILDLIFE SIGNS ENCOUNTERED DAILY DURING PATROLS ARE DOCUMENTED WITH PRECISE GPS LOCATIONS AND PHOTOS.
