About the Wildlife
Asian Elephants
A small population of Asian elephants
exists in Cambodia.
The need to protect them and their
habitat is a critical component
of our project.
It is expected Cambodia Wildlife
Sanctuary Veterinarians will be called
upon to treat victims of poaching,
land mines and loss of habitat. Most
of these animals can be trans-located
to the Conservation Area, but older,
injured or abused animals will require
care and will live out the remainder
of their lives at the observation,
monitored portion of the sanctuary.
The elephant habitat will also require
and utilize a large portion of the
Observation Area due to their need
to range over large areas. The elephant
area will include streams, ponds and
waterfalls for bathing. Public viewing
areas will be located, if possible,
near these popular spots. Natural
forest and native vegetation will
be a major part of their habitat with
large barns for night quarters and
housing for sick or older individuals.

Fishing Cats, & Other Native Carnivores
