The rise of conservation-focused resorts - SilverKris

"One of Southeast Asia’s last stretches of unbroken rainforest, this vast landscape covers more than five percent of Cambodia and hosts over a million hectares of diverse habitat across some 16 ecosystems, supporting many rare species including dozens listed on the IUCN Red List. The range has been severely threatened by logging, sand dredging and poaching, but protection has expanded since the 1990s and in 2016 several parks were merged into a far larger protected area, creating a corridor for conservation while attracting eco-conscious tourism that aims to fund and spotlight preservation efforts." - Silkwinds, the inflight magazine of SilkAir
