O'SVAY COMMUNITY
O’svay is composed of five villages along the Mekong River located in Ramsar region and around 60 Km from Steung Treng town. Even if they are living on a potential ecotourism destination, most people depend on farming, fishing and collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs). In view of this, the Cultural and Environmental Preservation Association has created an ecotourism project to enhance the community’s capacity of conservation and generate income for the people.
