subject: What Is The Cardamom Project? [print this page] If you are looking for a really beautiful mountain range then you should look to the Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia. But look before they are completely destroyed by illegal hunting, forestry and land clearance. Or else you need to offer some help to the cardamom project of New York, an organisation dedicated to the preservation of this mountain range.
The organization is based in New York city and has dedicated itself to attempting to preserve the Cardamom Mountains. They have two goals for this beautiful mountain range in Cambodia.
Their first goal is to raise awareness in the eye of the public of the plight of the mountains. A lot of people are not aware of how much damage things like logging and poaching are doing to the mountains. The organization does this through running fund raisers and giving those funds to the conservation effort.
The other goal for the organization is to make the mountains a way for Cambodia to start to renew their country. They have faced many years of hardship and need to start getting involved in their national heritage. If the locals are able to start caring for their section of the mountain range the damage that the years have caused should be contained and may even be reversed.
The cardamom project is a wonderful project. There really should be more like that around in the world. A lot of mountain ranges and prairies and other landscapes could do with a bit of rescuing and preserving. If the worlds population continues with its current pursuits then the world is going to suffer a great deal more.
It is very important that we protect our heritage. Everyone needs to catch a wakeup and begin to campaign for our natural surroundings. There are plenty of people out there who are willing to help out, all that they need are the funds and the cause to flock to. You cannot restore something that is gone completely however you can stop all of the damage that has already occurred from totally destroying your natural heritage if you start now with conservation effort.
