Cambodia’s wildlife is ruled by the monsoon cycle. Its rivers connect a mosaic of habitats as they flow like arteries from the highland forests to the central plains of Tonle Sap Basin and the Mekong Lowlands. It is a wild land of extreme rains that create challenges for some, and opportunities for others. Asian Elephants, giant freshwater turtles, Burmese pythons, rare birds and lost civilisations characterise the tidal wave of life here in the water kingdom.
