Despite growing up in Phnom Penh, a city that sits on the junction site of Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers, there was little that Nary knew about rivers. However, this all changes when she began her journey with Young Eco Ambassador (YEA) from March, 2018.
“I think it is part of youth responsibility to care for and protect the environment,” said Nov Soknary, 18, one of the member of Young Eco Ambassador – Mekong Generation.
Her time with YEA was not just for environment. She received trainings that endorsed the growth of her love for nature, earth leadership, self-development, and documentation through photography and videography. Numerous field trips to provinces left her fazed with Mother Nature’s beauty.
“When I got to see the Mekong dolphins for the first time, I was so fascinated,” said Nary.
“I have never seen anything like it,” she exclaimed.
