SFS Cambodia: Freshwater and Forest Ecosystems
Program Overview
Discover the diverse ecosystems of Cambodia—from the massive Tonle Sap Lake and ancient Angkor temples to the forests of the Mondulkiri highlands. Learn about efforts to fight climate change and preserve biodiversity and rural livelihoods. Take an extended expedition across the country, spending time in an elephant sanctuary in Mondulkiri and conservation sites along the Mekong River, then head to a riverine archipelago in southern Laos.
SFS students will live and study at the Center for Conservation and Development Studies, our most urban center on the outskirts of Siem Reap, near the famed temples of Angkor. The center is a breezy, modern campus nestled in a quiet neighborhood just minutes away from the bustling downtown area, where you will find restaurants, shops, and markets with unique Cambodian flair.
