Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium (AWA) is proud to continue strengthening conservation education in partnership with the Snakebite Relief Program (SRP), Cambodia Wildlife Care (CWC), and the APSARA National Authority through the installation of additional snake awareness signboards at important visitor sites within Angkor Park.
The newly installed educational displays are located at:
- Angkor Self-Service Ticket Center
- Banteay Srei Temple Entrance – Interpretation Center
These signboards are designed to educate both local and international visitors about the snakes commonly found in the Angkor region, while providing practical information on:
- Snakebite prevention and visitor safety
- Appropriate behavior when encountering snakes
- The ecological importance of snakes within Cambodia’s ecosystems
As one of Cambodia’s most visited heritage destinations, Angkor Park is also home to a rich diversity of wildlife species that play vital roles in maintaining ecological balance. Snakes, although often misunderstood, are important predators that help control pests and contribute to healthy ecosystems.
Through this initiative, AWA and its partners aim to encourage greater public understanding and reduce unnecessary fear or harm toward wildlife. By combining conservation education with visitor awareness, the project supports safer interactions between people and nature while promoting sustainable tourism practices across the Angkor landscape.
This expansion follows the successful installation of previous educational snake awareness displays at Angkor Botanical Gardens, further reflecting the shared commitment of all partners toward environmental education, biodiversity protection, and responsible tourism.
At AWA, we believe that conservation begins with knowledge. Every educational sign installed is more than information—it is a step toward inspiring respect, responsibility, and coexistence with the natural world.
