According to a press release by Sam Veasna Conservation Co., Ltd., led by the Indigenous Community Committee of Andong Kraloeng, the actions agreed upon include support for community-led scout patrols combatting forest and wildlife crime in the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary landscape, the provision of food packages to elderly and vulnerable members of the community, free weekly English lessons, and contributions to the Indigenous Bunong Cultural Centre in the provincial capital of Sen Monorom.

"The initiative's overarching objective is to enhance local leadership capabilities, thereby ensuring the creation of significant benefits for the community while concurrently safeguarding the habitat of the Southern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon. This approach is designed to guarantee that the positive impacts of ecotourism are disseminated throughout the local community," explained Chris Iverson, the Ecotourism Technical Advisor.

Sokha Thot, the Community Chief of Andong Kraloeng, has asserted the significance of the Gibbon Fund for the continued protection of wildlife and forests by the community for future generations, as well as for the development and enhancement of the livelihoods of indigenous communities in accordance with their traditional practices.

Since 2017, the Gibbon Fund has amassed a sum in excess of US$50,000 through the financial contribution of US$30 from each visitor to Jahoo who participates in one of the available 1, 2 or 3-day tours

In response to community feedback, the committee has devised a comprehensive plan encompassing 13 activities and initiatives for the forthcoming year. These endeavours are focused on underscoring the imperative of safeguarding critical gibbon habitat and ensuring the secure tenure of Indigenous Bunong land for posterity. The initiative seeks to foster a symbiotic relationship between the community and Jahoo, wherein both parties benefit equitably and act as active partners in the endeavour.
