SFS: Cambodia Climate Change, Ethics, and Conservation
Qualified students may study at the School for Field Studies (SFS) Cambodia: Climate Change, Ethics, and Conservation program based at the SFS Center for Mekong Studies in Siem Reap, near the Mekong River delta’s Tonle Sap lake and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor. The focus of the program is on rural livelihoods, economic development, and climate change. Program participants study urban and rural community-based conservation solutions through travels along the Mekong River in Cambodia and Vietnam and in the capital city of Phnom Penh. Topics of study include migratory birds, water use, agricultural development, deforestation, and Buddhist social norms. In addition, during the semester students visit many key social justice organizations and international conservation non-governmental organizations.
