Project summary
CAMPAS, short for ‘strengthening national biodiversity and forest carbon stock conservation through landscape-based collaborative management of Cambodia’s protected area system as demonstrated in the Eastern Plains Landscape, is a project of collaboration between the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. As its title suggests, the project holds the interconnected aim to improve the sustainability of Cambodia’s national system of protected areas, with the complementary objectives to mainstream biodiversity into production forests and promoting conservation of carbon stocks.
The CAMPAS project is directly in line with the GEF biodiversity focal area aiming to improve the sustainability of protected area systems—improving management effectiveness of over 4.5 million hectares of protected areas by reinforcing Cambodia’s national law enforcement system, and by developing and demonstrating coordinated planning, information management, institutional and financial arrangements around a unified national protected area vision, which is currently administered by three agencies with limited coordination and information-sharing. Cambodia is recognized as one of the priority countries for biodiversity conservation, holding four global eco-regions: Lower Mekong Dry Forests, Mekong River with the Tonle Sap floodplain, Cardamom Mountains Moist Forests, and Gulf of Thailand. The country’s unique natural riches includes the world’s largest natural freshwater lake fish, the Greater Mekong forests and river complex, and the largest contiguous block of natural forest remaining on the Asian continent’s mainland. Cambodia is sanctuary to about 1.6% of globally threatened species on the IUCN’s Red List, which includes 2.5% of globally threatened mammals, 2% of globally threatened birds, and 5% of globally threatened reptiles.
With a total budget of USD 19,288,772 of which USD 14,570,590 is co-financing by a partner alliance of international non-government organizations and USD 4,718,182 financed through GEF/UNEP, on a global basis the CAMPAS alternative will help ensure increased protection of biodiversity values in Cambodia’s rich protected area landscapes, increasing their governance and management effectiveness. It will also help reduce present land-conversion trends, restoring the connectivity of protected area landscapes and recovering wildlife populations in the Eastern Plains Landscape. Through investing in forest protection and rehabilitation measures and more effective involvement of stakeholders in sustainable forest management and conservation, the project will help ensure improved forest cover and conservation of biodiversity, which also supports to maintain carbon stock enhancement of sequestration. At the national scale, the project will strengthen the effectiveness of inter-sectoral coordination, mainstreaming biodiversity conservation within national protected area landscapes, which in turn will result in synergy of investments in biodiversity and conservation management. It will increase efficiency in protection of biodiversity and ecosystem services inside protected areas and surrounding connecting forests in the landscape. This will result in the reduction of unfavorable land conversion activities in the greater landscapes of protected areas with a direct benefit to biodiversity.
The project design comprises two major outcomes, one at the national level budgeted at USD 2,980,730 (from UNEP/GEF) and a supportive outcome at the demonstration site level, budgeted at USD 1,501,542 (from UNEP/GEF). At the national level CAMPAS comprises three specific outputs, all oriented to strengthen unity and support for landscape–based protected area and forest management that explicitly addresses national system level issues through measures that that include establishing the enabling environment at national level, through communications and awareness, strengthening protected area governance involving inter-agency cooperation, and demonstrating sustainable financing options. At the demonstration site level, the CAMPAS’s four outputs will deliver a sub-regional planning approach for the Eastern Plains Landscape that integrates protected areas and biodiversity conservation into sustainable development – with specific focus on forested landscape connectivity. At this level it also focuses on integrating forest conservation with sub-regional economic development planning, trying to resolve issues presented by economic land concessions that often ignore and impact upon protected areas, and harnessing integration opportunities with other landscape-level initiatives like those of the Asian Development Bank Biodiversity Conservation Corridors and United Nations Environmental Program Adaptation Fund projects.

ADB BCC Output 2 - Biodiversity corridors restored, protected, and maintained is directly linked with: CAMPAS Output 1.2, (USD 21,240 under 1.2.2 + USD 221,240 under item 1.2.1) which focuses on improved national compliance with protected area management goals and maintaining forest connectivity across large landscapes; CAMPAS Output 2.1 (USD 118,470 under item 2.1.1 + USD 352,840 under item 2.1.2)** on harmonizing regional development plans with biodiversity and forest conservation; and CAMPAS Outputs 2.2 and 2.3, which include aspects of community development, protected area management and forest rehabilitation at the landscape level. Both projects will engage MOE, FA, and provincial government technical line ministries to implement the newly Protected Area Strategy (link with NBSAP) and national forest program and policies. Engagement with the private sector and integration of infrastructure development will be key project activities where both projects will complement each other. The ADB BCC co-financing will amount USD 3.6M over five years (refer to detail activities in Appendixes 4-7). Note that items marked with ** also correspond to other stated synergies. 45
ADB BCC Output 3: Livelihoods improved and small-scale infrastructure support provided is mainly linked to CAMPAS Output 2.4, (USD 263,380 under item 2.4.1 + USD 210,686 under item 2.4.2 where the two projects will join forces and complement each other to increase resource and livelihood security for communities by establishing alternative income base (NTFPs, forest and agro-forestry) and deliver improved capacities of local communities to manage community forests and community protected areas, engaging is forest rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation. The ADB BCC co-financing will amount USD 3,750,000 over five years (refer to detail activities in Appendixes 4-7). 45
