Eco-Journey (Anlung Pring)

About Anlung Pring

What makes Anlung Pring, a wetland in Cambodia’s southern border, one of the most vital refuges for the world’s tallest flying bird — the Sarus Crane? 

Can rice farming remain profitable while protecting the Sarus Cranes, whose numbers have plummeted 80% in just ten years?

How can conservation become a shared practice between an NGO, villagers and the local government, shaping wetland management and stewardship?

Walk alongside NSS and NatureLife Cambodia (NLC) on this Eco Journey to explore questions, not just answers. Discover how endangered cranes, sustainable farming, and community stewardship converge in a Ramsar listed landscape where resilience and collaboration define the future of Cambodia’s wetlands.

Read more about NLC and their work with Crane Rice in this Straits Times article.
