Animals are vital to the ecosystem in the world. Simultaneously, many species in the world are listed as extinct, endangered or vulnerable in the IUCN red list. Continuously, the population of the animals and the land area of the forest are declining. In countries like Cambodia, illegal hunting and logging happened because of the lack of education as well as a conflict with the cultural practices. Therefore, in the past six months, my teammates and I were working on writing, researching and with the help of the other students to translated and illustrated the books about animals in Cambodia called, The Illustrated Guided to Wildlife of Cambodia. The books were written in two languages Khmer and English. As a change agent, we wrote those books with the goal of educating young people about the importance of wildlife and why they should protect them. We did a fundraising on an Online website to publish the books in Cambodia. We’ve collaborated with the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport to distributed the books to all the government schools in this country. I believe that the books would help to educate young people about the importance of animals and ecosystems to our world.
