| 説明 | Another view of the Wat just off Roulos Village on the Tonle Sap lake near Siem Reap, Cambodia. I have traveled to this part of the world to check out the Angkor temples, including the mighty Angkor Wat. That done, I'm now taking some time off to explore the mighty Tonly Sap lake, which is a definite must see if you visit Siem Reap. We are on our way to Kompong Phluk, and Roulos village is the place from where you take a boat to get there. We were moving into the vast expanse of the Tonle Sap lake now, and this was to be the last sight of land for a while yet. The lake's flooded forest and the surrounding flood plains are of utmost importance for Cambodia's agriculture as apart from being the cultural heart of Cambodia, the region and the Tonle Sap lake are the centre of the national freshwater fishery industry, which is Cambodia's primary source of protein. Sadly, life is not as easy as all that, and so threats to the lake's fragile ecosystem include widespread pollution, stress through growth of the local population which is dependent on the lake for subsistence and livelihood, over-harvesting of fish and other aquatic, often endangered, species, habitat destruction, and potential changes in the hydrology, such as the construction and operation of dams, that disrupt the lake's natural flood cycle. However, concerns that the lake is rapidly filling with sediment seem to be unfounded at the present time. China building massive dams in the neighbourhood also threatens to disrupt the flow of water- and subsequently fish - into the lake. More notes about the Tonle Sap appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). (Kompong Phluk floating village on the Tonle Sap lake, near Siem Reap, Cambodia, Oct. 2008) |
