The preservation of the bird sanctuary Prek Toal Core Area, found in the remote northwestern floodplain of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake, has been a slow and hard-earned process.
In the mid-1990s, conservationists discovered that the area, covered in seasonally inundated forest, was home to Southeast Asia’s largest waterbird colony. The spot-billed pelican (Pelecanus philippensis), grey-headed fish eagle(Icthyophaga ichthyaetus) and Endangered milky stork (Mycteria cinerea) are all found here, to name a few.
To celebrate International Day for Biological Diversity—along with our grantees and the biodiversity they work to protect—we recently held our fourth annual photo contest. Congratulations to the contest winners, and thank you to the CEPF grantees worldwide who participated. Visit our Facebook page to see all of the entries.
