Conservation International (CI) released a video on social media today showing what they described as the largest ever group of wild Asian elephants captured on camera over the past decade.

The video was filmed in the Central Cardamom Protected Forest in Cambodia.

The release of the video coincides with the launch of the first ever conservation trust fund for Central Cardamom Protected Forest (CCPF).

CI said on their website that Asian elephants once occupied large sections of territory from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, but now occupy much smaller sections of land.

CI also said that the Cardamom Mountains hold one of the largest populations left in Southeast Asia.

The reservoir in the mountains is also home to a number of other endangered species including the clouded leopard, Siamese crocodile and Asiatic black bear.
