Newborn elephants and endangered dholes thrive in protected cardamom forest

The dhole is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with fewer than 2,500 mature animals left worldwide. The species has vanished from much of Cambodia, and reliable national population data are lacking. Although no more than two dholes appeared in any single frame, the latest images verify the species’ presence, and an expanded camera grid equipped with advanced recognition software will now gauge pack dynamics and habitat use more accurately.
