A Glimpse at a Previously Unknown World

Andong Kraloeung is a must-see eco-tourism site located in the remote hills of the Seima Protection Forest in Mondulkiri province. Unknown to most until recently, Andong Kraloeung is home to a unique collection of incredible plants and animals.

And its beauty is now available for all of Cambodia — and the world — to see.

Seen above is the globally threatened Hog Badger (Arctonyx collaris), captured in a rare camera trap photo.

The USAID Supporting Forests and Biodiversity Project — through the good work of project partner, Wildlife Conservation Society — has assisted with developing a community-led ecotourism site that creates more options to protect their forest while providing cash income, employing young villagers and showing the world this incredible forest heritage.
