Écotourisme, Conservation des Oiseaux et Développement Local au Lac Tonlé Sap
Development for the benefit of the environment.
Environment for the benefit of local communities.
Our Vision
for Prek Toal
The extraordinary natural and human environment of the Prek Toal area has inspired Osmose’s vision: it is the best asset for the development of local communities. Through its interventions, Osmose initiates, tests and accompanies new modes of use and sustainable development of local natural resources.
Our Conservation
& Social Goal
Osmose’s goal is to combine protection of Prek Toal bird colonies with socio-economic benefits for lake populations. The Osmose approach integrates awareness activities (environmental education) and income-generating activities (ecotourism, crafts) with disadvantaged families, including former bird collectors.
