Wildlife in Cambodia Survived War but Still Under Threat



During recent years of peace, wildlife in Cambodia continues to face threats from poaching and trafficking. The Cambodian government and its non-governmental organization partners have tried to preserve vulnerable wildlife facing extinction. They some were rescued from poachers and kept in Phnom Tamao Zoo.

Nick Marx, wildlife rescue director of Wildlife Alliance in Cambodia, met supporters and made a presentation Sept 24 to potential donors at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park, in Washington DC.

i think when it comes to wildlife in cambodia, it will take the entire world to support that conservative effort! cambodia don't see the importance of conservation of wildlife when people are still hungry and trying to survive, etc!
