Protect Endangered Elephants in the Cardamom Mountain Rainforest



More than 100 endangered Asian elephants -- the largest population in Cambodia -- depend on the elephant corridor in the Cardamom Mountain rainforest. 


But the elephants could lose this critical habitat if Cambodia approves a permit for a new titanium mine in a meeting this Friday!(11th Feb) We have to tell the Combodian Minister of Commerce to protect the country's wildlife. 



It's not just elephants: The Cardamoms are home to sun bears, Siamese crocodiles and more than half of Cambodia's bird population. Moreover, the Cardamom Mountains are one of the last intact rainforests in Southeast Asia. It is a model for conservation and have a burgeoning eco-tourism industry that helps locals make a living without destroying the land. 


Please take action and sign up the following petition:
