Jahoo Gibbon Camp

Jahoo Gibbon Camp is situated deep within the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in Mondulkiri Province and serves as a premier example of community-based ecotourism in Cambodia. The camp focuses on the conservation of the Southern Yellow-cheeked Crested Gibbon, an endangered primate species native to the region's dense evergreen forests. The project is operated through a close partnership between the indigenous Bunong community and conservation organizations like the WCS. Visitors have the rare opportunity to observe gibbons in their natural habitat as they swing through the high forest canopies. Revenue generated from tourism directly funds forest protection efforts and supports local infrastructure and educational initiatives for the Bunong people. Beyond gibbons, the sanctuary is home to an impressive variety of birds, butterflies, and other endangered species such as the black-shanked douc langur. The camp itself is designed with simplicity and sustainability in mind to minimize its ecological footprint. It serves as a vital buffer zone against illegal logging and poaching by providing a nature-compatible alternative income source for the residents.
