Som Sitha, the Koh Kong and Mekong Conservation Project manager at Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS Cambodia), has been selected as one of the six Mekong Conservation Heroes for 2020-2021 by the Mekong Conservation Heroes programme (MCH) – a part of the Wonders of the Mekong project funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
The MCH was developed to shine a spotlight on outstanding individuals doing inspiring conservation work in the Lower Mekong Basin by working to research, protect, or raise public awareness about the Mekong River’s unique ecosystem, biodiversity, habitats, and cultural heritage.
