I’ve been horrible about posting here, but better now than never. Here are some images from a recent trip to Elephant Valley in Sen Monorom, Mondulkiri, and the WCS field office located on the edge of Seima Protected Forest and just outside Keo Seima (the local town). This trip, the second of two, I spent with my two interns (and friends) Phalkun Chan and Sereyrath (Rath) Aing. Highlights included:
- Going on a nature walk and getting to see Gibbons and Doucs but avoiding leeches!
- Visiting the Elephant Valley elephant sanctuary and carrying luxury wood leftovers from an illegal logging site to be used as benches.
- Seeing all manner of beetles and bugs, again.
- Assisting the Cambodian Rural Development Team (CRDT) with their document cleanup.
