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.

These efforts underscore AWA’s commitment to wildlife conservation and habitat restoration. We appreciate the support of our partners and community as we continue our mission to protect and preserve endangered species.

Thank you for following our progress. Stay tuned for more updates on our conservation projects and how you can contribute to our efforts!

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.

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 are 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

10 Siamese Crocodiles Released into the Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary on August 13th, 2024.

As part of our ongoing mission to conserve the endangered Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis), Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium has partnered with Rising Phoenix for an exciting development. We’ve just completed another successful release of 10 adult Siamese crocodiles into the Western Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary!

After months of meticulous planning and preparation, these remarkable reptiles were transported under the cover of night to ensure their safe arrival.  The journey posed significant challenges, including treacherous roads and high waters. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Rising Phoenix team and our own AWA staff, the crocodiles arrived safely at 8 a.m. and were released into their new home.

This release is a crucial step in bolstering the local population and builds upon the success of our 2023 release. To date, we have successfully released 61 adult Siamese crocodiles into the wild, reinforcing our unwavering commitment to the preservation of this once-nearly-extinct species.

A heartfelt thank you to all our staff and partners whose hard work and dedication have transformed conservation challenges into triumphs.  Stay tuned for more updates and photos from this remarkable journey. Together, we’re making a real difference!

Endangered Siamese Baby Crocodiles at AWA.

At AWA our baby critically endangered Siamese Crocodiles are turning 1 year old soon. As part of their care, they receive regular checkups. This includes weighing and measuring them to monitor their growth and development. It also gives us a good chance to have a look for any other issues.

These babies will continue to grow and develop at AWA before they are big and strong enough to be released. Head starting them like this greatly increases their chance of survival.

The Siamese Crocodile is one of the most endangered crocodile species on the planet. Cambodia is proud to have the largest population, however much more work needs to be done to save them and restore their numbers to a healthy status.

The Luckiest Red Footed Tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonarius).

She is a young Red Footed Tortoise from South America that has been kept as a family pet. When her family had to return to the USA, they worked hard to find her a good forever home. Collaborating with the Fisheries Administration, we agreed to house her at AWA to make sure she receives the care she needs to live a happy life. She loves to eat strawberries as a treat, with her usual diet consisting of various leaves and mushrooms. We will keep you updated on her progress. Please be a responsible pet keeper and do not release invasive species to Cambodia.

The Red Footed Tortoise is from the forests of South America. Non-native to Cambodia this species cannot be released here as this can cause terrible damage to the fragile forest ecosystem. This is a large species of tortoise measuring up to 30cm and weigh as much as 9kg.

ViVi’s Amazing Story

ViVi was previously part of the unfortunate pet trade in primates. Kept in poor conditions, fed the wrong food, and tethered by the leg has resulted in her needing special care. She needed to have 1 leg amputated due to an injury caused by the tether. She has now settled in well and really enjoys spending time with her new caregivers.

ViVi is a Common Marmoset monkey Callithrix jacchus which are native to Brazil. They are a very small species of monkey which live in large family groups. They eat insects, fruits and tree gum. Due to their complex needs PRIMATES DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS. Please do not buy primates as pets and help to stop this trade.

Did you know that Cambodia is home to one of the rarest and most majestic creatures on the planet?

The Royal Turtle is the royal reptile species of Cambodia. The sub-species Batagur affinis edwardmowli which only occurs in Cambodia in the Sre Ambel River. It is classed as Critically Endangered and is in the top 25 species of the most threatened turtle species in the world. At AWA we have a pair housed in our reptile house in agreement with the Fisheries Administration to try to breed more of these
extremely rare animals. Any offspring in the future will be head started in captivity before being released back to the wild.

Large turtle species weighing up to 35kg and capable of living over 75 years. Its diet is mostly aquatic
plants. It is nearly extinct due to sand dredging of its natural habitat, hunting for food and being killed in
fishing equipment such as nets.

Giant Mekong Barb, the National Fish of Cambodia!

Giant barbs, CRITICALLY ENDANGERED


The giant barb is the largest carb that lives in rivers in Asia. Sadly, these giants are critically endangered and to help save them, the King of Cambodia issued a royal decree back in 2005 declaring the giant barb as the national fish with hopes of spreading awareness and advocating for its conservation.

The giant barb is important in Cambodian culture and history. You can see pictures of them carved into the walls of Bayon Temple. It’s important to protect these amazing fish so they can continue to be a part of Cambodia’s heritage.

YouTube video

One way to help the giant barb is by breeding them in captivity. When they are young, they grow really fast, so they can be released into the wild to help increase their numbers.

Mekong Snail-Eating Turtle (Malayemys Subtrijuga) Rescue at AWA

At AWA we recently rescued 4 Mekong snail-eating turtles. These turtles are native to Cambodia and are protected by law. These animals were handed over to AWA after being collected for merit release. The practice of merit release is very harmful to wildlife although falsely believed to give good karma with up to 90% of animals dying. Paying money for this practice also allows more animals to be stolen from the wild. Please do not purchase any wild animals from sellers. After they were assessed as healthy, they were quickly released back to the wild.

Mekong Snail-Eating Turtle Releasing

The Mekong snail-eating turtle Malayemys Subtrijuga lives in small rivers, ponds and flooded areas in Cambodia. As its name suggests, it hunts for aquatic snails and other freshwater invertebrates. It is the most traded turtle in Cambodia, often sold as food. Please do not purchase any wild animal for food, not only is it bad for the environment but they often carry dangerous diseases.
