However, the region faces severe environmental degradation, with over 1.7 million hectares of forest lost between 2006 and 2022 due to illegal logging, agricultural expansion, infrastructure development, and climate change. This degradation threatens biodiversity, ecosystem services, and the cultural heritage of the area, including the Angkor Archaeological Area. Despite government efforts—such as logging bans, protected area expansion, and reforestation targets—underlying socio-economic drivers of deforestation persist. These include poverty, unsustainable agricultural practices, weak governance, and limited financial and institutional capacity. The degradation has disproportionately impacted vulnerable groups, including women and Indigenous Peoples, who depend heavily on natural resources. The Steung Siem Reap (SSR) watershed, which includes Phnom Kulen National Park and flows into Tonle Sap Lake, has been identified as a flagship site for restoration due to its ecological, cultural, and economic significance. The area is also central to Cambodia’s tourism industry and holds spiritual importance for the Khmer people. Project Objectives The overarching objective of the ERIP is to generate climate, environmental, and socio-economic benefits at scale by enabling integrated, collaborative management of degraded watershed systems in the Tonle Sap Basin. This includes: Restoring ecosystem functionality and biodiversity conservation. Enhancing community livelihoods and resilience to climate change. Promoting sustainable land and water uses mechanisms. Contributing to Cambodia’s national and international environmental commitments.
