Description: Cambodia is home to some of
the most significant populations of mammalian wildlife in Asia. Endangered
species such as leopards, tigers, bantams, gaur, barking deer and the
near-extinct Kouprey – the Kingdom’s national animal and the world’s rarest
large mammal – have been sighted off the beaten path. In addition, wild
elephants still roam remote pristine forests and monkeys and snakes abound in
mountainous areas. While the international market for endangered species poses a
great threat to the preservation of the Kingdom’s wildlife, conservationists
strive to research, document and preserve them.
