This little community of about 500 families is in the center of the rainforest and is a successful story of conservation. The Cardamom Mountains were once a stronghold for Khmer Rouge fighters, a no-man's-land where, until recently, outsiders were banned. Now a few environmental organizations and a handful of locals are in a race against the clock to save the longest remaining stretch of untouched rainforest in Southeast Asia and its biodiversity. The men who once fought the rebels now host and welcome travelers. They assured me that there is still hope that this beautiful rainforest can be preserved. While working on a story on this environment, I found myself crossing the river several times a day, especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the light was golden and the water was calm.
