Original report from Koh Kong
17 February 2010
A short drive from Koh Kong town, along the western coast, brings you to mangroves filled with thousands of trees, their many shades of green floating on the surface of the sea.
Fish, crabs and snails hide themselves among the roots of mangrove trees that have been replanted here in an effort to attract tourists.
Since 2001, nearly 1,000 hectares of mangrove have been replanted at the Koh Kong Wildlife Sanctuary, by the people of Peam Krasaop commune, in an effort to restore trees cut down by villagers.
