flag A Cambodian survey uncovered new and rare species in limestone caves, highlighting urgent conservation needs amid growing threats.

flag A biodiversity survey in Cambodia’s Battambang province has revealed numerous new and rare species in limestone karst caves, including several geckos, micro-snails, millipedes, and a turquoise pit viper, with more species still being formally described. flag Researchers from Fauna & Flora and Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment explored over 60 caves across ten hills, finding isolated ecosystems teeming with unique life, some adapted in isolation over millennia. flag The survey also documented globally threatened species like the Sunda pangolin and green peafowl. flag These fragile habitats face growing threats from mining, tourism, logging, and hunting, prompting urgent calls for conservation. flag Officials stress the need for sustainable management to protect these irreplaceable ecosystems before undiscovered species vanish.
