Cardamom Tented Camp, a unique eco-friendly retreat nestled in the heart of the Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia, has recently joined The Long Run, an international organization dedicated to promoting sustainable tourism practices around the world. This partnership marks a significant step towards furthering the camp’s commitment to preserving the environment and supporting local communities.
Located in the remote and pristine Cardamom Mountains, Cardamom Tented Camp offers guests a truly immersive experience in nature. The camp consists of nine safari-style tents that are designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of the jungle while minimizing their impact on the environment. The camp is also powered by solar energy and uses eco-friendly materials and practices to reduce its carbon footprint.
By joining The Long Run, Cardamom Tented Camp is now part of a global network of sustainable tourism operators who are dedicated to protecting the environment and supporting local communities. The Long Run works with its members to implement sustainable practices, promote conservation efforts, and enhance the well-being of local communities. Through this partnership, Cardamom Tented Camp will have access to resources, support, and guidance to further improve its sustainability initiatives.
One of the key initiatives that Cardamom Tented Camp is involved in is the protection of the Cardamom Mountains, one of the last remaining wilderness areas in Southeast Asia. The camp works closely with local conservation organizations to monitor and preserve the biodiversity of the region, which is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, including endangered species such as the clouded leopard and the Siamese crocodile.
In addition to its conservation efforts, Cardamom Tented Camp is also committed to supporting the local community. The camp employs local staff, sources products and services from nearby villages, and provides training and educational opportunities for community members. By engaging with and supporting the local community, the camp aims to create a positive impact and foster sustainable development in the region.
Through its partnership with The Long Run, Cardamom Tented Camp is setting a new standard for sustainable tourism in Cambodia. By embracing eco-friendly practices, supporting conservation efforts, and engaging with the local community, the camp is leading the way in responsible tourism that benefits both the environment and the people who call the Cardamom Mountains home.
