Our Story
At the Wildlife Conservation and Prevention Organization (WCPO), our journey began with a profound love for wildlife and a deep concern for the challenges they face. Founded by a passionate group of animal advocates, we recognized the urgent need to address the plight of countless wild animals in Cambodia, many of whom are threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and the cruel pet trade.
​
From our humble beginnings, we focused on rescuing injured and abandoned wildlife, providing them with the medical care and rehabilitation they desperately needed. With each animal we saved, our commitment to conservation grew stronger. We quickly realized that our mission extended beyond rescue; it involved educating local communities, raising awareness about wildlife welfare, and advocating for stronger protection measures.
As we witnessed the alarming number of pet monkeys suffering from neglect and abuse, we knew we had to take action. This led us to expand our goals to include the establishment of a rehabilitation center—a safe haven where these vulnerable creatures can heal and thrive. Our vision is to not only rescue and rehabilitate but also to educate the public about the importance of wildlife conservation and the role we all play in preserving our natural heritage.
Today, the WCPO stands as a beacon of hope for wildlife in need. We are dedicated to caring for these animals and working tirelessly to return them to their natural habitats whenever possible. Our mission is fueled by the support of compassionate individuals and organizations who share our vision for a world where wildlife can live freely and safely.
As we look to the future, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can make a meaningful impact for wildlife, ensuring a better tomorrow for the animals that share our planet.​​​​

We also assist wildlife that faces challenges during childbirth, ensuring they receive the necessary support in critical moments. Our organization provides temporary shelter and nutrition for wildlife unable to fend for themselves, safeguarding the health and well-being of both new and existing animals.
