Song SAA foundation is a private organization, which works for the conservation of few communities. This organization was established and started in 2013. This continues the conversation duties since when we first landed in Koh Ouen. However, today our conservation community has expanded widely that it is beyond the archipelago borders. We aim at conversation and protection of habitats of Koh Rong Archipelago. We have built the kingdom’s first Marine reserve and now we have also developed an NGO. We have become a coastal marine NGO after the efforts of all these years. Apart from the protection of archipelago species, we also have people to understand their importance and live the life without harming the environment. To have this amazing experience, feel free to volunteer with local NGOs im Cambodia.

Awareness has equally spread about the waste management and polluting seawater.
