The ministries of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and Environment, as well as the World Wide Fund for Nature Cambodia (WWF Cambodia), will request the Anlong Kampi Irrawaddy dolphin conservation area in Kratie province be added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

 

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, WWF Cambodia said: “Today is the second day of our Khmer New Year, and it is also a day for people around the world to recognise the importance of the freshwater dolphin.

 

“In Cambodia, the Irrawaddy dolphin is considered the country’s national living treasure and currently inhabits the Mekong River in Kratie and Steung Treng provinces.”
