Cambodia is planning to create a natural and historical heritage site at the birthplace of the country – in the 1st century – in two communes of Prey Veng province’s Ba Phnom district, according to the Ministry of Environment.
Officials and community members in the Tuol Porn Taley Boeung Sne conservation area in Prey Veng province’s Ba Phnom district said that although no birds have been found dead in the last week, they will continue to work together to collect any they can find. The carcasses are burnt to prevent the possible transmission of diseases to humans or animals in their communities.
More than 300 birds have died at the Tuol Porn Taley Boeung Sne conservation area in Prey Veng province since early March as a result of the hot weather, an area official has said, noting that conservation community members have been burying them to prevent the possible transmission of diseases to other animals.
