environmental conservation
The environment is very important for our life. Clean air, water, and forests help people, animals, and plants stay healthy. But sometimes, people cut too many trees, throw rubbish in rivers, or hurt wild animals. That is why it is important to protect nature. The Shinta Mani Foundation helps with this work in Cambodia.
One special place is Shinta Mani Wild, a nature resort in the forest. It is not only for tourists — it also helps save the environment. The resort is in a big forest with animals, rivers, and trees. Rangers work there to stop illegal logging and hunting. They help keep the forest safe.
Shinta Mani Wild also teaches local people about nature. They give jobs to people from the area, so they do not need to cut trees or harm the forest. Guests can also learn how to protect the environment.
Thanks to Shinta Mani Wild, the forest is cleaner and safer. It shows that tourism and nature can work together to make a better future.
