CYN envisions sustainable use and management of natural resources in Cambodia. Cambodians should have equal access to the natural resources; and the development process affecting our forests, rivers, mineral resources and public land should be transparent and sustainable, for the benefit of all Cambodians. CYN provides support for youths and communities as well as indigenous people to engage in decision-making processes and protection of natural resources and our environment. The advocacy efforts and campaigns create space for youths and communities at the grassroots – who are often excluded from such processes – to voice their ideas and concerns regarding the development processes which affect their lives, our society and future generations.
