The project is about conserving the only existing flooded forest in the village. To avoid further clearing it is important to get a good financial benefit accrued from the forest which the villagers can use to substitute for the lost sources of livelihood. In this case bee keeping, mushroom growing, earthworm raising and pod culture, are identified as possible alternatives to clearing the forest.

Objectives:
(i) Two conservation lakes were established at Roleap Sen Lake and Chhoeng Domrie Lake in order to increase fish productivity, biodiversity and protect the flooded forest around those two lakes.
(ii) Kok Sdao and Teuk Hot Community Fisheries Federation will have the capacity to manage community and conservation lakes with good results.
(iii) Improve community livelihoods, especially for poor women, through providing other livelihood options such as mushroom growing, earthworm culturing and bee keeping for generating income to selected community members.
