Cambodia is Southeast Asia's great waterbird country and its last refuge for several huge, odd birds: the giant ibis, the greater adjutant and the sarus crane all hang on in the northern plains and the Tonle Sap floodplain. Prek Toal on the lake has Asia's largest stork and pelican colonies, Kratie has the Mekong's Irrawaddy dolphins, Angkor's temples have macaques in the ruins, Mondulkiri has elephant sanctuaries and the Cardamom mountains hold Siamese crocodiles and fishing cats.
The Tonle Sap is the engine of Cambodian wildlife. The lake swells five times each monsoon and shrinks back, and that pulse feeds the fish, the birds and the people. Prek Toal, a flooded forest on its northwest shore, holds the biggest breeding colonies of storks, pelicans and ibises left in Southeast Asia.
North of the lake, the dry deciduous forests of Preah Vihear and the Kulen Promtep sanctuary are where the giant ibis survives, found by the village guides of Tmatboey. Add the Mekong's dolphins at Kratie, the macaques and bats of Angkor and the Cardamoms' rediscovered fishing cats, and Cambodia is a far better wildlife destination than most visitors realise.
Kenapa lokasi ini penting
Halaman lokasi yang baik menjelaskan kenapa tempat ini layak dikunjungi, bukan hanya nama-nama yang cocok dimasukkan ke checklist destinasi.
The giant ibis is Cambodia's national bird and has perhaps 200 individuals left, nearly all here. The Tmatboey ecotourism model, where village guides are paid when visitors see the bird, is one of the clearest success stories in Asian conservation.
Cambodia's Irrawaddy dolphins number fewer than 100 in the Mekong, and Phnom Tamao outside Phnom Penh holds thousands of animals seized from the wildlife trade. Seeing both shows what the country is fighting for and against.

Tips spotting
Tips ini dibuat agar halaman ini benar-benar berguna di lapangan, bukan hanya enak dibaca di layar.
- 01Book Tmatboey through the Sam Veasna Conservation Tours office in Siem Reap; the village guides stake out the ibis roost pools and you leave before 5 am.
- 02Prek Toal is a half-day boat trip from Siem Reap in the dry season (December to March); go with a Sam Veasna or Osmose guide who can enter the core colony area.
- 03At Kratie, take the Kampi dolphin boat in the last two hours of light when the river is calm and the dolphins surface close to the boats.
- 04Visit Angkor's quieter temples (Ta Nei, Preah Khan) at dawn for pig-tailed macaques, hornbills and the fruit bats leaving the big trees.

Cara memilih pemandu satwa liar lokal di Cambodia
- Tanyakan apa yang biasanya mereka temukan pada musim kunjunganmu. Pemandu yang baik memberi jawaban jujur, bukan janji pasti melihat satwa tertentu.
- Perhatikan cara mereka memperlakukan satwa: tanpa umpan, tanpa memanggil satwa, tanpa memegang, dan tanpa flash dari jarak dekat demi foto.
- Pastikan titik temu, durasi, ukuran grup, total harga, dan cara pembayaran sebelum hari kegiatan, termasuk izin atau biaya taman yang diperlukan.
