| From high above the canopy, visitors can appreciate the sheer scale of the sanctuary - more than 23,000 hectares in area, the mangrove forests around Peam Krasop provide a safe harbor for saltwater crocodiles and Irrawaddy dolphins. |
 |
| The forest also serves as a stopover for migrating birds like the Asiatic dowitcher (Limnodromus semipalmatus) and the spotted greenshank (Tringa guttifer), of which the latter is an endangered species. |
 |
| The scale of the forest belies the endangered state of mangrove wetlands in Cambodia - only 60,000 hectares of mangrove forest remain in the country, with the most pristine examples in Koh Kong province. Even these mangroves are threatened by villagers who cut down mangroves for charcoal. |
