http://www.birdlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/news/nlc_monitoring_activity_tonle_sap_smaller_1.jpg?itok=fOE7_6qL Despite being one of the most biodiverse countries in Asia, Cambodia had no national NGOs working directly on conservation as recently as 15 years ago. BirdLife set out to change that, and in 2004 established a country programme.

Physical barriers like the USA-Mexico wall and fences between Russia and China aren’t the only complication. BirdLife’s Chief Scientist Dr Stuart Butchart explains how countries experiencing the greatest species loss may be in the worst position to protect nature.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/IJ0TzgvEioEView the full articl
