A team from the Forest Research Institute (FRI), the country’s premier forest research organisation, will soon travel to Cambodia, to save one of the major attractions of that country. Its task will be to save the Speung trees, many of which stand over 60 metres tall and are over 100 years old, at the ancient Ta Prohm temple in Siem Reap province.
The trees, which add to the charm of the 800-year-old temple, are currently facing a serious threat and it is up to the FRI team now to save them. There are 33 such trees which have been classified in high risk category after field surveys and need urgent treatment and restoration.
The team of experts from the FRI will be visiting Cambodia in November to deliver the prescription for treating these trees.
