Development efforts

In 2021, Angelina Jolie told People Magazine that she plans to return to Cambodia to establish the next “Women for Bees” program in the Samlout region to raise awareness of conservation efforts. Women for Bees aims to train 50 women beekeepers within five years and build 2,500 hives in 25 UNESCO biosphere reserves around the world, including Cambodia.
