This document reviews the success of the first year of ecotourism activities in the Seima Protection Forest (SPF), Mondulkiri1. The document outlines the model that is being applied, and compares success against the objectives that were developed in 2008. Lessons learned are outlined and targets set for the second year of implementation
Bird-based ecotourism was trialled successfully in early 2009, five groups totalling 22 international visitors came and each spent 2-3 days at the site, and expressing satisfaction at observing many rare and special bird (and other) species. $270 was paid in direct fees to newly trained village guides etc, and $660 was collected in levies for the community conservation fund (to be spent on development projects chosen by the village committees).
