The launch of the Ministry of Environment’s e-library represents a significant milestone in Cambodia’s journey towards fostering environmental consciousness and a sustainable future. With this new digital platform, environmental awareness and education will become more accessible, enabling individuals to make informed decisions that prioritize the preservation of our precious natural resources.
Together, we can build a Better Cambodia, where environmental knowledge thrives, institutions prosper, and the collective wisdom of our shared ecosystem shapes a brighter tomorrow.
