One example of successful community-based natural resource management is the Tonle Sap Lake, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of the most important freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia. Here, local communities have implemented measures to protect fish breeding grounds, regulate fishing practices, and manage wetland ecosystems. These initiatives have not only helped conserve endangered fish species and their habitats but have also led to increased fish populations, benefiting both the local communities and the wider ecosystem.

In addition to fisheries management, community-based initiatives are also crucial in combating deforestation and protecting land-based wildlife habitats. The Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary, spanning four provinces in northern Cambodia, is a prime example. Local communities, supported by organizations like Fauna & Flora, actively participate in patrols to monitor and prevent illegal logging and land encroachments. They also engage in reforestation efforts, planting thousands of trees to restore degraded forest areas. These community-led conservation measures have been instrumental in preserving the sanctuary’s biodiversity, which includes critically endangered species such as the Indochinese tiger and the giant ibis.

Izinzuzo Zokuphathwa Kwemithombo Yemvelo Okusekelwe Emphakathini
1. Inika amandla imiphakathi yendawo ukuthi ithathe ubunikazi bemithombo yayo yemvelo
2. Idala izisusa zokusebenzisa izinsiza ngendlela eqhubekayo
3. Ithuthukisa ukongiwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo
4. Ukwenza ngcono izimpilo zasendaweni ngamathuba omnotho esimeme
5. Strengthens social cohesion and community resilience

Ngokuphathwa kwemithombo yemvelo okusekelwe emphakathini, iCambodia ingaqhubeka nokuvikela izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezicebile futhi ikhuthaze intuthuko esimeme. Ngokukhuthaza ubudlelwano phakathi kwemiphakathi yendawo, izikhungo zikahulumeni, nezinhlangano zokongiwa kwemvelo, izwe lingaqinisekisa ukongiwa kwesikhathi eside kwemithombo yalo yemvelo kanye nempilo enhle yabantu balo.

In order for community-based natural resource management to be successful, it is crucial to invest in education and raise awareness among local communities. By providing training and capacity-building programs, communities can develop the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage their natural resources. Educational initiatives can also help instill a sense of pride and responsibility in community members, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship.

Isiphetho

Ukuphathwa kwemithombo yemvelo okusekelwe emphakathini kuyithuluzi elinamandla lokulondoloza imvelo yaseCambodia, ukuvikela izindawo zezilwane zasendle, kanye nokukhuthaza intuthuko esimeme. Ngokufaka imiphakathi yasendaweni ohlelweni lokuthatha izinqumo kanye nokubanika amandla okubamba iqhaza elibonakalayo ekuphathweni kwezinsiza, i-Cambodia ingaqinisekisa ukulondolozwa kwesikhathi eside kwamagugu ayo emvelo ukuze izizukulwane ezizayo ziwajabulele.

Isiphetho

Sengiphetha, ukuvikela imvelo yaseCambodia kudinga imizamo ehlangene ekongiweni, ekuthuthukisweni okusimeme, nasekuxoxisaneni nemiphakathi yendawo. ICambodia ibusiswe ngezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezicebile, okuyikhaya lezinhlobonhlobo zezilwane nezitshalo, ezihlanganisa izindlovu, amabhere, ama-gaur, nezixhobo zamakhorali ezinamandla.

Nokho, lezi zinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo zibhekene nezinsongo eziningi, ezinjengokugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukuhweba ngezilwane zasendle ngokungemthetho, imikhuba yokudoba ebhubhisayo, nentuthuko engapheli. Ukuze kuliwe nalezi zinselele, izinhlangano zokongiwa kwemvelo ezifana ne-Fauna & Flora bezihamba phambili, zisebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuze zivikele imithombo yemvelo yase-Cambodia.

Lezi zinhlangano zibeka phambili ukuzibandakanya komphakathi, ukuqapha ukuhlukahluka kwemvelo, kanye nocwaningo. Ngokubandakanya imiphakathi yendawo emizamweni yokongiwa kwemvelo, bakhuthaza umuzwa wobunikazi futhi baqinisekise izinqubo ezisimeme zokulondolozwa kwezilwane zasendle nezindawo zazo zokuhlala isikhathi eside.

I-USAID iphinde ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekulondolozeni nasekulawuleni imithombo yemvelo yaseCambodia. Ukugxila kwabo ekuthuthukisweni okusimeme kanye nokuvikelwa kwemvelo kusiza ukuvikela imvelo ebalulekile nezindawo ezivikelekile ezweni lonke.

E-Eastern Plains Landscape, i-WWF-Cambodia ihola imizamo yokongiwa kwemvelo ukuze kugcinwe izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo zakulesi sifunda. Amasu abo abandakanya ukubhekana nezinsongo ezinjengokugawulwa kwemithi, ukuzingela, ukugunyazwa komhlaba kanye nokuthuthukiswa komnotho. Ngokukhuthaza ukuphathwa kwemithombo yemvelo okusekelwe emphakathini kanye nokuthuthukisa amathuba okuvakasha kwemvelo, bahlose ukunciphisa ukungqubuzana kwabantu nezilwane zasendle, ukusekela indlela yokuphila yasendaweni, nokulondoloza izilwane zasendle eziyingqayizivele namahlathi ase-Eastern Plains.

Ukuvikela izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo zase-Cambodia kuwumthwalo ohlanganyelwe. Ngokubambisana phakathi kwezinhlangano zokongiwa kwemvelo, ukwesekwa kwamazwe ngamazwe okuvela ezinkampanini ezinjenge-USAID, nokubamba iqhaza okugcwele okuvela emiphakathini yendawo, singaqinisekisa ikusasa elisimeme lefa lemvelo elimangalisayo lase-Cambodia.
