Country Director, FFI Cambodia Programme

Jeremy PARKER

The last 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, while extremely challenging, have provided us with an opportunity to consider our roles in driving the vital change we need to tackle the environmental crisis, and how we can better connect ourselves as students, professionals, scientists and educators living in Cambodia, to the big picture issues facing the world.

Decisive action is needed over the next decade to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, avert catastrophic climate change and ensure future human and planetary health. This moment calls for determined leadership and ambitious collaboration from global organizations, government and business, as well as concerted pressure from civil society on policymakers and businesses world.

The Master’s in Biodiversity Conservation at the RUPP and the research opportunities by the CBC are giving Cambodian citizens the tools and knowledge they need to take on these challenges. Fifteen years ago, FFI was excited to launch the CBC with our partner RUPP, and ever since has been proud to support this tremendous MSc program. Every day, alumni of the MSc are enacting policy informed by what they learned at the RUPP, and creating the research needed to provide technical advice to private companies, NGOs and governments around the world.

FFI looks forward to continuing its collaboration with the RUPP and with all of you who have graduated and are working to make the world a better place. One place to begin taking action in combatting climate change and the ecological destruction of the world is by watching the new statement by FFI’s Vice President, Sir David Attenborough, and signing Our One Home petition, which calls for determined leadership and ambitious collaborations between global organizations, governments and business, alongside concerted pressure from civil society on policymakers and corporate world.
