Phnom Pehn, Cambodia
Workshop objective: To strengthen the capacity of wetland managers, policymakers, and conservation practitioners for sustainable wetland management through an in-depth understanding of wetland ecosystem services and how to assess them.
This training workshop will enable the Regional Flyway Initiative (RFI) and wetland stakeholders in Cambodia to continue Phase 2 of the RFI’s development, with a focus on capacity building. The ecosystem service assessment process is expected to involve stakeholder consultation and engagement that will help gather consensus on site boundaries for priority wetlands in Cambodia, habitat types, provision of ecosystem services, drivers of change, and addressing challenges at the site level.
Target audience: wetland managers from the priority wetland sites, conservation practitioners, and policymakers
