Summary
Rural communities and globally threatened wildlife are both at risk from extreme climatic events. Building community irrigation ponds and restoring natural wetlands will increase climate resilience, enhanced livelihoods for communities, and reduced hunting and disturbance pressures for globally threatened wildlife, including the Endangered Eld’s Deer and two Critically Endangered Ibis species at Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary. Village and Stakeholder Forums will share best practice, allowing for these integrated community water management models to be scaled up across the region.
