Remarkable camera trap footage shows the largest group of wild Asian elephants captured on film in the Central Cardamom Protected Forest over the past decade. The footage shows at least 12 individual Asian elephants, including young, as they graze, interact and move through the forest. Asian Elephants once roamed from the middle east to Southeast Asia but now exist only in habitat fragments. The Cardamom Mountains hold one of the largest wild populations left in Southeast Asia. Threats such as hydropower development and agriculture are impacting the animals' routes and causing increased conflict with humans as the animals raid crops. Seeing these 12 individuals demonstrates the effectiveness of the protected forest. For over 14 years, Conservation International (CI) has worked closely with the Cambodian Government to protect this forest – critical to supporting the lives and livelihoods of 3.5 million people in the Cardamom Mountain range, and fisheries and agriculture downstream.

Nature doesn’t need people. People need nature.

That’s the message of our provocative, celebrity-studded campaign “Nature Is Speaking.” Our aim is to raise awareness that people need nature in order to survive. Our goal is simple: It’s time to change the conversation about nature to focus on what we all have in common: Our shared humanity.
