Educating for Safety, Protecting for the Future

Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium (AWA) is proud to partner with the Snakebite Relief Program (SRP) and the APSARA National Authority to enhance public education at Angkor Botanical Garden through the installation of informative standing banners.

These educational displays are designed for both local and international visitors, providing essential knowledge about common snake species found in Angkor Park, how to identify potential risks, and practical guidance on preventing snakebite incidents. By understanding snake behavior and learning appropriate safety measures, visitors can explore the park more confidently while respecting the natural ecosystem.

This initiative reflects our shared commitment to public safety, wildlife conservation, and sustainable tourism within one of Cambodia’s most culturally and environmentally significant sites. Through collaboration and education, we aim to reduce human–snake conflict while promoting peaceful coexistence between people and wildlife.

At AWA, we believe that education is a powerful conservation tool—protecting lives, preserving biodiversity, and inspiring responsible interaction with nature.

Rescue to Freedom: The Story of an Asian Open-billed Stork’s Return to Nature

Rescue to Freedom: The Story of an Asian Open-billed Stork’s Return to Nature

In August, Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium (AWA) received a young Asian Open-billed Stork (Anastomus oscitans) that had been kept by a local community member for nearly a month before being donated to our facility. This species is a familiar and important waterbird in Cambodia, and every rescue helps protect the country’s vibrant wetland ecosystems.

Upon arrival at AWA, our animal care team immediately began a dedicated rehabilitation plan. The young stork was carefully monitored as it regained strength, rebuilt natural behaviours, and developed the confidence needed for survival in the wild. As part of AWA’s standard wildlife rescue protocol—and in close cooperation with the Forestry Administration of Siem Reap—the bird underwent avian influenza (AI) testing to safeguard both its health and surrounding wildlife populations.

We’re delighted to share that the test results came back negative, giving the stork a clean bill of health and clearing the path for its return to the natural world.

After a successful recovery, AWA worked alongside the Forestry Administration and staff from the Pearaing Biodiversity Conservation Centre (PBCC) to release the young stork back into a protected wetland habitat. Boeng Pearaing’s rich environment provides the ideal conditions for this species, offering abundant food sources and natural surroundings for the stork to thrive.

Moments like this highlight the meaningful impact of community cooperation and responsible wildlife stewardship. AWA extends heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributes to our ongoing wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation efforts. Together, we are safeguarding Cambodia’s natural heritage—one rescue at a time.

Tonle Sap Water Snake Babies Born at AWA

Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium gladly welcomed a new generation of a unique Cambodian species: eight baby Tonle Sap Water Snakes (Enhydris longicauda) born in our care.

This species, found only in Tonle Sap Lake, is an important component of Cambodia’s freshwater biodiversity. Despite being quite numerous in the lake, the Tonle Sap Water Snake is under tremendous threat from overfishing, particularly for food. This pressure jeopardizes their future—and the balance of the ecosystem.

At AWA, our conservation team has spent more than two years studying this species in a controlled habitat. Our primary goals have been to better comprehend their care, study their behavior, and develop responsible captive management approaches.

This is the first successful breeding of this species at AWA, and it represents a significant milestone in our efforts to promote the long-term survival of Cambodia’s natural wildlife.

Three Golden Jackal Pups Rescued and Now Thriving at Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium (AWA)

Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium (AWA) has opened its doors—and its heart—to three golden jackal pups rescued from Somrong Commune, Srothnikum District. Just eight weeks old and taken from their den far too early, these pups are now safe and sound at AWA, where our expert team is leading their journey from trauma to triumph.

Upon arrival, the pups received full health checks and critical vaccinations to protect them from canine diseases. Now, under the care of AWA’s veterinary and animal care teams, they are being nurtured with a carefully planned diet and daily enrichment that builds the instincts and strength they’ll need to survive in the wild.

Golden jackals (Canis aureus) are vital players in Cambodia’s ecosystem, acting as both scavengers and regulators of smaller animal populations. But with their habitats increasingly under threat, rescues like this are more important than ever.

Three Golden Jackal Pups Rescued and Now Thriving at AWA! - W2

AWA’s ultimate goal? A soft release into a protected natural area in northeastern Cambodia, where the jackals can return to the wild on their own terms—strong, smart, and free.

Our team will continue monitoring their growth and behavior closely to ensure they develop the survival skills needed to thrive. This effort reflects AWA’s deep commitment to wildlife conservation and the protection of Cambodia’s rich biodiversity.

 You can help too. Avoid disturbing wildlife, never remove animals from their natural habitats, and support local conservation efforts. Every action counts.

GOLDEN TREE SNAKE HATCHED AND RELEASED

After the opening of our Reptile House, we received eggs from our adult Golden Tree Snakes. The eggs were taken to be incubated until they hatch. We hatched 5 juvenile Golden Tree Snakes which we then wished good luck and released into the wild!
This species is harmless, feeding mainly on Geckos and Frogs.

DID YOU KNOW?

Recently AWA was asked to intervene when some pythons were captured on a farm in Siem Reap.
To avoid the pythons being killed we stepped in to rescue them. After being looked after and assessed by our team it was decided that they were healthy and fit for release.

Working alongside the Forestry Administration in Siem Reap, we released both pythons into a protected area where they will live out their days. We would like to thank Srouch Pen for donating the pythons to us and the Forestry Administration for continued support in rescue and release of Cambodian wildlife.

AWA TARANTULA BREEDING PROJECT.

At Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium our tarantula breeding project has started. Several pairs of tarantulas were put together for mating. The tarantulas mated successfully, and all males survived. It is common for female tarantulas to eat the males after mating

This species known as the Cambodian Earth Tiger Tarantula or cyriopagopus longipes can have 150 babies at a time, so we look forward to welcoming a few thousand babies soon.

Earth Tiger Tarantula

This species is collected for the food trade and are becoming rare. Our spiders will be part of a trial breeding project and will be released into a protected area.

A Second Chance and a New Beginning – Meet Our Otter Family!

Rescued and Rehomed

Their proud parents were once victims of the illegal pet trade, but thanks to the Wildlife Alliance and the Phnom Tamao Rescue Centre, they were given a second chance at life. After receiving care and rehabilitation, this bonded pair joined us at AWA, where they quickly settled into their new home.

New Arrivals – Tiny Paws, Big Dreams!

On November 22nd, this loving couple welcomed two beautiful female pups! Since then, the pups have grown fast, gained weight, and stayed close to their devoted parents.

Did You Know? Fun Facts About Otter Pups!

  • Otter pups are born with closed eyes and can’t swim immediately.
  • They rely entirely on their parents and caregivers for safety and growth during their early weeks.

Our proud otter dad got too excited and tried to give his pups their first swimming lesson earlier than expected! To keep them safe, we’ve temporarily drained their pond while the pups grow stronger.

Don’t worry—once they’re 12 weeks old, we’ll slowly add water to help them learn to swim at their own pace. 🌊✨

Visit and Watch Them Grow!

This story is just beginning, and you’re invited to participate! Visit us at Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium to meet our otter family and see their incredible journey unfold. Witness conservation in action and learn more about how we’re working to protect Cambodia’s wildlife.

AWA Released Asian Water Monitor Lizards into Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary!

Along with the Siamese crocodiles released, AWA has recently achieved two significant conservation milestones. Our team successfully released four baby Asian Water Monitor Lizards (Varanus salvator) Status, Least Concern, into the Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary.

The baby water monitors, hatched from a rescued female, were carefully prepared for their new life in the wild. By reintroducing these lizards into their natural habitat, we are ensuring the continuation of the genetic legacy of their mother and contributing to the ecological balance. of the sanctuary.

Indo-Chinese Langur Finds Safe Haven at AWA!

We recently received a call from someone concerned about a monkey living in a village nearby to AWA which had been captured by local people after it was stealing food from their homes. Unafraid of people, our Animal Department Staff quickly determined it was an abandoned or escaped pet. This species in the wild is very shy and often disappears deep into the forest at the first sight of humans.

Protected wildlife conservation at Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium.

A quick response was put together to facilitate her rescue. Since she arrived here at AWA we have assessed her health and wellbeing and she seems to be in good health with some minor wounds to her feet. She has started to eat well and is doing well.

She will be monitored closely over the next few weeks and our dedicated team is working on what the next steps are for her health and welfare. Indo-Chinese Langurs are an Endangered species, in Siem Reap they can be found in forests surrounding the Tonle Sap Lake and sadly are often caught for the illegal pet trade. Please report any wildlife crime to the Wildlife Crime Hotline on 012 500 094 or their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/WCHCambodia/ Do not buy any wild animals as this assists in the ongoing cruel trade in wildlife
