Two-month survey by Wildlife Alliance and Dhole Conservation Fund validates 11-year public-private model that converts threatened forest into a wildlife and community lifeline A landmark two-month camera-trap survey has revealed that the endangered dhole (Asiatic wild dog) still roams, and that a breeding herd of Asian elephants now finds safe haven, inside the 18,000-hectare forest concession that Minor Hotels has leased and protected since 2014 in Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains. Conducted by Wildlife Alliance and sponsored by the Dhole Conservation Fund, the study deployed 60 motion-sensitive cameras in a grid pattern from February through March this year. Dholes appeared on seven cameras, prompting rangers to focus the full array on that hotspot in May to refine data on pack siz...

Archaeologists in Cambodia have unearthed a dozen centuries-old sandstone statues in a “remarkable discovery” at the Angkor World Heritage Site near the city of Siem Reap, authorities said Wednesday. The statues — depicting so-called “door guardians” — were discovered last week near the north gate leading to the 11th-century Royal Palace at Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire, said Long Kosal, spokesman for the Apsara National Authority, the government agency that oversees the archaeological park. Teams were assessing the ancient gate’s structure and searching for fallen stones around the portal on the north side of Angkor Thom, one of four entrances to the complex, when the discovery was made.

The return to Cambodia this week of 14 sculptures that had been looted from the country during a period of war and unrest is like welcoming home the souls of ancestors, Cambodia’s culture minister said Thursday.

They “were made between the 9th and 14th centuries in the Angkorian period and reflect the Hindu and Buddhist religious systems prevailing at that time,” the museum said in a statement this week. A statement from Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts said the “historic homecoming of national treasures” followed several years of negotiations between Cambodia’s art res...
