After visiting Angkor wat of Cambodia please come to visit Bird Sanctuary in Siem Reap. If you are a bird watcher, a bird lover, a conservationist or simply a nature lover, this hunting ground turned a bird reserve called Boeng Peariang situated not too far away from UNESCO’s Angkor Archaeological Park is a great place to experience the amazing Cambodian wildlife.It take only 30 minutes from Siem Reap town by Tuk Tuk to the Boeng Peariang Bird Sanctuary. It is home to about 175 rare species of countryside, mountain and waterbirds. The bird sanctuary used to be a hunting place where birds were killed for food or smuggled to be sold on the world’s growing black market. Due to the initiative of the local community to preserve the avian habitat, the sanctuary has been developed with the goal to serve as a bird reserve. The people residing in the Chreav Village are educated on the importance of wildlife and they now act as guides and bird rangers that protect the sanctuary from poaching.
