The Furget Me Not campaign is aimed at 
stopping the illegal killing of otters 
for the fur trade.  The first area that 
we are concentrating on is Cambodia, 
where Asian Small-Clawed Otters, Smooth 
Coated Otters and the incredibly rare 
Hairy-Nosed Otter are being killed 
illegally for pelts, which are traded 
by middle men to China.  The original 
trappers are fishermen for whom the 
money for the skins plays an important 
part in keeping their families alive, 
so the campaign aims to find a way to 
reconcile the survival of both otters 
and people.
