Hunting and illegal logging are one of the major problems in Cambodia as well as the world. Most people aren’t educated enough to understand the importance of wild animals and the forest. That is why the Liger students decided to take action. During this school year, a group of 13 students including me was learning about the wildlife in Cambodia. We have traveled to many different provinces in Cambodia and contacting with experts worldwide to deeply understand about the animals in the five classes such as mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. As a result, we have written a book called The Illustrated Guide to Wildlife of Cambodia. The book was written, illustrated, and translated by the Liger students. We have worked closely with Art in a Box organization to paint the animals and ecosystem in the books. The Ministry of Education Youth and Sport had agreed to help us distribute the books to every government school in Cambodia. With our books, children in Cambodia will have a better understanding of the animals in their country and hopefully, they will help to protect them. Lastly, I believe that everyone can make a difference, and it doesn’t matter how old you are.
