Cambodia is rich in animal species sometimes on the verge of extinction that can only be found in this vast country. The flora is also varied. You can admire orchids, wander through the mangroves, or wonder at the palmyra palms, the symbol of Cambodia. On the plain, the rice fields predominate, but alternate with undefined ground sprinkled with reeds and woods. However, a bigger problem persists; deforestation. The export of wood has been controlled since 1995, in order to stop mass destruction of trees.
