Tue, 6 April 2021
The number of wild birds dying in the Tuolporn Taley Boeung Sne Multiple-Use Area in Prey Veng province is declining after recent rainfalls, according to local authorities and community members. The cause of the deaths is suspected to be water pollution, chemicals, old age and disease.
“From April 1 to April 6, the number of dead birds decreased to only between 35 and 57 a day. This is about 150 less compared to March 21-22, when there were more than 200 deaths a day,” chief of Tuolporn Taley preservation community Puth Bou said on April 6.
