Wildlife returns to Angkor Archaeological Park
Sun, 2 May 2021
Wildlife Alliance last week marked eight years of success in its project to reintroduce wildlife to the Angkor Archaeological Park. The aim is to restore wildlife in an area once abundant with animals.
The project is led by the Apsara National Authority (ANA) – a state body tasked with managing the Park – together with the Forestry Administration and Wildlife Alliance.
In a press release, Wildlife Alliance said the Angkor complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is home to Cambodia’s natural heritage. At Angkor’s zenith, wildlife was likely abundant as suggested by carvings of primates, deer and wildcats at Bayon temple.
