Goals & Objectives

The major objectives of the Restoration Component of Landmark Program in Cambodia are to implement a long-term tree breeding plan and to strengthen the restoration and tree breeding capabilities of the Forestry Administration in Cambodia. The objectives of the project are to:

  1. Implement the long-term tree breeding plan; and
  2. Strengthen the restoration and tree breeding capabilities of FA in Cambodia

Main Activities

  • Objective 1
    • Selecting plus tree of 3 targeted major timber species (Dalbergia cochinchinensis, Pterocarpus macrocarpus and Dipterocarpus intricatus)
    • Establishing progeny test plantation (24 ha) to confirm the superiority of selected plus trees upon their progenies and to provide genetic information
    • Establishing seed orchard (6 ha) to collect genetically superior seeds in the future
    • Establishing of demonstration forest (18 ha) to maintain the genetic resources via ex-situ conservation and to conduct long-term monitoring
    • Silvicultural management in genetic resources conservation forest and forest restoration area (200 ha) through weeding, pruning, measuring, monitoring, and protecting the area from forest fires by constructing firebreak lines
  • Objective 2
    • Training on tree breeding for the FA technical staffs in the ROK and Cambodia
    • Providing education programs on the restoration techniques and tree breeding
    • Providing Local training on forest protection for villagers

Publishing of textbooks on tree breeding in Cambodia (English/Khmer) based on the experiences and knowledge obtained over the duration of implementation

Expected Outputs

  • 24 ha of progeny test plantation established in Khun Ream, Siem Reap and another place in a separate area
  • 6 ha of seed orchard established
  • 18 ha of demonstration forest established
  • Successful silvicultural management in genetic resources conservation forest and forest restoration area of 200 ha
  • The capabilities of restoration and tree breeding of the Forestry Administration in Cambodia strengthened through the provided trainings and education programs
