"I was just looking at FFI's shiny new website (check it out at www.fauna-flora.org) and stumbled across this short video from 2014, which I hadn't seen in full before.
We launched the MSc in Biodiversity Conservation at the Royal University of Phnom Penh with a grant from the Darwin Initiative in 2005 and - dare I say to my own amazement - it's still going strong with over 250 Cambodians receiving training and support to date. The graduates in turn are doing admirable work across the country at a time when wildlife and the environment desperately needs help.
Tagging Callum McCulloch and Nami Daoud Birkenhoff-Træholt for starters because this wouldn't have got off the ground without the hard work and determination of Callum and Carl Traeholt.
I salute you both!"

Our Story
Copenhagen Zoo's Southeast Asia Programme began in 1998 by providing capacity building to Malaysia's Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) concerning Captive Breeding management of gaur and sambar deer. Since then, Zoo has worked in close collaboration with DWNP with research and conservation of Malayan tapir, flat-headed cats, elephants and other species. Zoo also provides support to local University students with small research grants, if they are keen to further their studies at home or abroad.
Since 2005 Zoo has forged many positive working relationships with stakeholders within the palm oil sector. In 2011 Zoo entered into and MoU with United Plantations Bhd to help build environmental and biodiversity research and management capacity at their estates in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, where there is a strong focus on integrated pest management. Zoo also continues to support the further development of the Round Table for Sustainable Palm Oil and other stakeholders in pursuit of the same goals. In 2016, Zoo was the first environmental NGO to be appointed as “biodiversity advisor” to Malaysian Palm Oil Board’s “Project Advisory Board” and Zoo also serves as biodiversity advisor in Sime Darby Plantations Bhd. “Biodiversity Committee”.
Since 2004, Zoo has worked with and support biodiversity and wildlife research at the University of Andalas, West Sumatra and in 2013 we signed an MoU with the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, Division of PHKA, aiming at restoring the unique ecology of Baluran National Park (East Java). Additionally, we contribute to developing species research and conservation programme, specifically Javan leopard, banteng, Javan warty pig, Javan dhole and general management of the park.
The Southeast Asia programme is Zoo's largest foreign conservation programme with a team consisting of four Malaysians, one Australian, eight Indonesians and headed by a Dane, Dr. Carl Traeholt, who is the Programme Director. In addition, the team work with a range of other local conservation biologists, e.g. three in Sarawak, four in Sumatra and 10 in Kalimantan. The programme continues to be involved in original applied research about wildlife ecology, management and conservation, as well as provide advice, support and capacity building support to local universities, students and policy makers in the region.
