Hi Ram,

Unfortunately I think that Ivonne has no way of reading your message and even more unfortunate, I have no email contact for her and the web site she mentioned in an earlier comment appears to have been down for a long time.

There are a good number of organizations in Cambodia working on forest, so it should be easy to find information on this. Try CBNREM Learning Institute or CDRI for a start. I think they might be able to help you out with aerial photos, too.

World Bank and ADB have both supported the sector and I would expect aerial photos and proper analysis in their reports, too.

Best,
Stefan

Hello.

You have some great photos. I was wondering if I could use the one of the Cambodian cock. I’m building a website on gamefowl and good photos are hard to come by. I’d give you full credit, just let me know how to list you. Thanks.

Great photography!! Thank you for sharing. Many of those pix in the forest could have been taken in rural southern Georgia and north Florida USA. I have spent hundreds of hours on dirt bikes on those roads — great fun.
I am determined to visit Cambodia by the end of 09 and thanks to you I am really looking foreward to it.

Hi Ivonne,

Sure, no problem, just use them. If you require higher resolution images, just let me know the name/number of the file. It would be nice if you could indicate my name as photographer but is not essential.

Ivonne, great, thanks for this information. I had not seen their website and I am really impressed. I keep advising people to ask for Lim and Lot when looking for guides in Rattanakiri.

Hi Angel,

Thanks for kind words. Make sure to visit Ratanakiri, it will be a very rewarding trip. Maybe we meet there or somewhere else in the land of the Khmer one day. Actually Ratanakiri is not exactly Srok Khmer, as the majority of the population is not Khmer, ethnically.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
It is a great log and you have some wonderful, inspiring pictures. It seems like you went into the heart of Srok Khmer, traveling through jungle and uneasy road conditions. I admire your exploration; I plan to travel to Rantanakiri Province on my next visit as well. I have returned to Cambodia twice since I came to the US. Much memories came around in viewing your pictures …

Samnang,

always my great pleasure to read from you. You are very right, history has treated Germans well, in strong contrast to Cambodia. It is so sad that you lost your home and homeland along with many family members during the Cambodian holocaust, and I can see that it makes you hesitant to return to or visit Cambodia. I did read all your messages and will respond shortly.

Meanwhile, be well, and Happy Khmer New Year to Paris!

Wanna,

I should have mentioned that I have little hope to return to Cambodia prior to spring 2007, much to my frustration. You are right, most Cambodian seem hesitant to explore the jungle. In fact I found striking most Khmers seem to have an ambivalent relationship to the jungle and can never be at ease alone in the forest.

Having said that, I would very much like to join you and some trips and we can serve as each others guides.

Happy Khmer New Year to you, too, obviously!

Hi Stefan,
I’m to return to Cambodia in July. Hopefully, I could join your team to explore the remote area with you. I really like it.
As you know, Cambodians seem not like travelling/exploring in deep jungle. But for me, it’s the exceptional case. I think I should ask you to be my guide *lol* . We’ll explore Cambodia together in our possible free time.

Wanna,
