STC Launches Heritage Buffer Zone Greening Drive

Jan 10, 2025

Fostering environmental stewardship by planting 1,000+ native trees and establishing youth eco-clubs in schools surrounding Angkor heritage areas.

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility commitment, STC led a major community greening drive in partnership with local schools, village elders, and youth groups, planting over 1,000 native trees across heritage buffer zones in Siem Reap.

The initiative combines physical re-afforestation with interactive environmental literacy workshops, inspiring the next generation of Cambodians to protect local ecosystems and biodiversity.

Initiative Milestones

  • 1,000+ native timber and fruit tree saplings planted
  • 15 local schools engaged in environmental education activities
  • Creation of 5 youth eco-stewardship committees in rural communes
  • Long-term tree survival tracking supported by STC volunteer network

Environmental Commitment

Protecting the natural flora and fauna around Siem Reap is vital for preserving the UNESCO heritage landscape and ensuring clean, green environments for local communities and international visitors alike.
