Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Botum Sakor National Park, established in 1993, is Cambodia's largest national park, situated in the southwestern province of Koh Kong. The park spans diverse landscapes, from lowland forests and mangroves to sandy beaches along the Gulf of Thailand. The park is notable for its biodiversity, housing various plant species and endangered wildlife including the Asian elephant, Indochinese tiger, and various primates. Unfortunately, the park faces significant conservation challenges due to illegal logging and land grabbing. Key recreational activities include guided wildlife tours and hiking amid lush natural surroundings. The park's expansive geographical features attract visitors interested in both nature and adventure. Visitors also contribute to conservation efforts and eco-tourism initiatives aiming to protect the area's unique ecological value.
