Media and
Social presence
The project area and the extraordinary context of the Phnom Kulen National Park understandably attracted numerous of media projects from Cambodia but also from abroad.
ADF is now proposing a Media policy and a Media Request Form. This approach allows to better define the collaboration between the media project and ADF team, to better answer the media project expectations, and to avoid staff mobilisation without any financial compensation.
You are interested, please contact us at info@adfkulen.org
