PROTECTING THE ROOTS OF WETLAND LIFE


Our story started with the first record of a fishing cat in coastal Cambodia in 2015. Today, the fishing cat is our flagship species, symbolising our mission to research, monitor and protect threatened species, restore vital habitats, and empower local communities whose livelihoods depend on healthy wetlands to become their guardians.

OUR APPROACH

AN ENTERPRISE FOR CONSERVATION


We are the Fishing Cat Ecological Enterprise Co., Ltd (FCEE), a limited liability company managed as a social enterprise. We implement conservation actions to enable people and nature to co-exist sustainably within rare and threatened wetland ecosystems such as mangroves and flooded forests. Everything we do is a collaborative effort, from protecting wildlife to enhancing wetlands and enabling opportunities.

*Registered as a limited liability company, we operate with the accountability of a business and the mission of conservation.

Targeted camera-trap research and biodiversity monitoring, including surveys in 90,000+ hectares of wetlands in protected areas, other conserved areas and Key Biodiversity Areas.
