In August 2003 CVD signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Environment to manage a wildlife sanctuary in NW Cambodia.

The sanctuary will cover 60,000 hectares and protect the remaining stock of elephants, tigers, leopards, deer, bears and many smaller animals. An education center will teach the local villagers about preserving the plant and wildlife in the forests at their doorstep, and to understand about saving endangered species. One of the main tasks will be to attempt to stop the poaching of animals which are endemic.
