Building Trust are hosting a Live Design + Build Workshop in Cambodia in November 2014. Working alongside internationally acclaimed conservation charity, The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Birdwatchers from across Asia and beyond flock to Cambodia for a glimpse of two of the world's rarest birds: the giant ibis and its cousin the white-shouldered ibis. The birds’ nesting grounds sit at the outskirts of Tmatboey, a rural village where WCS has worked with the community to develop an eco-tourism project.
This ground breaking project has turned villagers into custodians of the natural habitats the wildlife around them inhabit. Protecting threatened forests and in doing so providing an income to the whole community. Building Trust international has been requested by WCS to work with the local community in Tmatboey, in the north of Cambodia to design and construct a new lodge facility for WCS's well established eco-tourism project.
This is a hands on course working with others to learn on-site skills such as site management and sustainable material procurement. Volunteers will also see first-hand how we promote and work with local communities taking on traditional skills and a host of other sustainable building techniques.
