4.Suy credits his interest in photography to a French journalist he met in 2000.Since 2012.he has used h love of photography for a good cause:protecting wildlife.As more and more animal species began to disappear from Kandal Province,he grew worried.So he created a photo project which he hoped would bring more attention to the loss of natural habitats in Cambodia.
He hopes to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature.H said, "The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that,it is due to the demand from the rich who desire wild meat and who consider wild meat chemical-free.
His photography work has shown how lack of education and law "enforcement" makes the problem worse.Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture."Education is very limited," he said. "And in terms of legal enforcement,only one organization is standing out,and that is the Wildlife Alliance." He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns against hunting.But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole.
Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia.
To Chantha Nasak,a wildlife expert,the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats,as well as the climate change.
However.there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species.Also,Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country.
"All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife,not just the NGOs and the government," he said. "It should be everyone."
