WWF-Cambodia
WWF-Cambodia's mission is to safeguard Cambodia's diverse biological heritage by fostering widespread local community engagement and promoting sustainable natural resource management practices. One of their key focuses is the protection of the Mekong Irrawaddy dolphin population by establishing a dolphin protection zone and prohibiting the use of gillnets within their habitat. This initiative is enforced by river guards, consisting of government personnel and local villagers, who are tasked with patrolling to prevent illegal fishing activities, confiscating prohibited gear, and upholding fisheries and aquatic life regulations. The money collected by this fundraiser will support their River Guard Programme in the Mekong River.
