Northern Plains Culture and Wildlife Adventure
Witness birdlife, culture and conservation working together like never before in the space of 3 days.
Experience and learn about three Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) conservation projects that are keeping five critically endangered bird species from extinction including SVC, IBIS Rice and Vulture Supplemental Feeding Program. Meet the locals on the front line of these conservation projects to gain new and unique perspective whilst immersing yourself in Cambodia's Northern Plains.
Highlights;
- See 'Cambodia's Big 5' critically endangered bird species; Giant Ibis, White-shouldered Ibis, Red-headed Vulture, White-rumped Vulture and Slender-billed Vulture.
- Morning trek with a SVC guide to see one of the rarest birds in the world and national bird of Cambodia, Giant Ibis.
- Discover what made IBIS Rice the winner of the Best New Sustaibable Product at the 2019 Sustainable Food Awards. Meet the IBIS Rice farmers, get 'hand-on' in the rice fields and learn first hand the agricultural techniques passed down for hundreds of years.
- Stay at Tmat Boey Ecolodge, SVC's flagship site and runner-up in the category of Best of Ecotourism at Sustainable Top 100 Destinations Awards 2019. Meet the community members that operate the lodge and enjoy their hospitality
- Experience the Boeng Toal Vulture Restaurant. A dead cow will be provided to the vultures and from dawn we will be able to watch the spectacle of forty White-rumped, Slender-billed and Red-headed Vultures, and sometimes also Slender-billed Vultures feeding on the carcass.
