The programme of re-wilding Angkor Protected Landscape is on a positive track, Wildlife Alliance Cambodia has said. The statement was released by Wildlife Alliance Cambodia recently, following its staff releasing a pair of leopards in Angkor Protected Forest in December last year.

 

“Staff continue to monitor the area and we are pleased to report that neither cat has returned to their enclosure to eat the food left for them. This is a great sign that they are adapting and their wild instincts are serving them well.  The programme is successfully re-wilding the Angkor Protected Landscape and its natural heritage. Many thanks to the Apsara  Authority and Forestry Administration,” it said.

 

The pair of leopard cats are one of seven species that have been released in Angkor Archeological Park as part of the initiative to strengthen its conservation of biodiversity and natural habitat. Apsara Authority spokesman Long Kosal said numerous animals, including pileated gibbons, otters, hornbills, silvered langurs, red muntjacs, binturong and leopards have been released in the area.

Couldn't that just mean that they've been killed and eaten by a construction magnate?
