Anlong Raing is a floating village within the inundated forest of the Tonle Sap Great Lake. The village is right in natural resources and the biodiversity enables flora and fauna such as fish, mammals and reptiles to survive and multiply. Villagers live on floating houses, which they move according to the changing water level. From 1987 to 2001, a number of destructive fishing activities were committed by people from outside the village. At the same time, some villagers cut the flooded forest to sell the timber so as to meet their family’s daily needs. The destruction of the flooded forest destroyed the natural resources and caused further reduction of the fisheries resources. The customary livelihood of the local people was no longer sustainable. Recognising the decline in fisheries resources in the area, the Cambodian Family Development Service (CFDS) cooperated with the Provincial Fishery Office to establish the community fishery in 2002. After the establishment of community fisheries, people have more understanding regarding the importance and benefits of natural resources. They actively participate in efforts to effectively conserve, protect, manage and use resources through the Capacity Building Programme and the Natural Resources Management Programme which were formulated by CFDS and competent institutions. Fisheries crime has decreased, and a programme to create secondary business activities has supported the livelihood of villagers in a sustainable way. The villagers consider the community fisheries as very important because it helps to improve their daily living conditions and provides support for the establishment and enhancement of complementary business activities. Now it can be noticed that there is a positive change among the villagers.
