Rising Phoenix Co. Ltd
Mission statement
Rising Phoenix Co. Ltd. is a social enterprise that was incorporated in Cambodia in 2015. The company aims to restore and conserve the Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary using business principles. We see value in the forest and the wonderful wildlife it holds.
The Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary is a unique and globally irreplaceable site. It supports populations of five bird species listed by IUCN as Critically Endangered, including Cambodia’s national bird the giant ibis. This means without immediate conservation interventions, these species face a high chance of global extinction. Rising Phoenix sees value in the forest and the wonderful wildlife it holds, and we support a range of program including species monitoring, rewilding, community development and law enforcement to prevent illegal wildlife hunting, logging and land encroachment from occurring.
Rising Phoenix sets out to combine the traditional donor approach with a private sector business model to secure the long-term conservation of Siem Pang. The company employs more than 100 people and our experienced CEO is Jonathan Charles Eames, OBE, who has over twenty-five years of experience working in protected areas development and management in South-East Asia.
