Meet Kea, Mei, So, Yeom, and Man. We affectionately refer to them, and their classmates in our education program, as the Song Saa Sea Turtles. All kids who grow up on the Koh Rong Archipelago are water babies. By that, we mean that their affinity to the water and their understanding of marine life is as humbling as it is hopeful.

In this video, you’ll see the boys learning from a mix of local wisdom and the Foundation’s scientific resources for regenerating marine environments. It’s with this combination that we watch our Sea Turtles unfold and find their role -- as a caretaker, a change agent, a leader.

This hands-on learning develops strong environmental awareness in our Sea Turtles. They recognise for themselves which local practices to keep, and which to develop and change to protect the likes of local mangroves, coral reefs, and fish stocks.

We are enabling and empowering the next generation of guardians who will expand on these regenerative practices for years to come.
