More than 100 volunteers in the Kampong Phluk community in Siem Reap province worked together to create giant puppets for the June annual celebrations of the National and World Environment Day. This year’s two-day celebrations will be held under the theme of “Tonle Sap Lake Ecosystem Restoration”. The World Environent Day falls on June 5.
The Ministry of Environment launched the “Reduce the use of plastics and promote environmentally friendly alternatives” campaign in Kratie town on April 9.
The BambooShoot Foundation is looking for companies, philanthropists or business associations that will exchange more than 10 tonnes of plastic waste from the Tonle Sap Lake for 3.5 tonnes of rice. The NGO wants to use the rice to reward the 350 families from Peam Ta Or village who collected the garbage.
FCC Angkor by Avani – in collaboration with two civil society organisations working in the Tonle Sap Lake area – organised a three-day exhibition about people’s life along the lake and conjoined river, including the area’s pervasive pollution by plastic waste.
