Wild Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation in Cambodia

Wild Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation in Cambodia

In 2001, the Cambodian government established a Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team to save animals from poachers, traffickers and loss of habitat. Many of the animals needing medical attention or too young for release into the wild are now taken to the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center. We learn about the rescue of a bear cub and the rehabilitation of elephant with only three feet.
