Hoopoe (Upupa epops)
A recent bird survey conducted by Sam Veasna center for Wildlife Conservation, reported that there are currently 70 different bird species nesting and feeding within Angkor Golf Resort.
Good environmental practices have encouraged local wildlife to inhabit Angkor Golf Resort which is seen as haven for local and migratory bird's and other mammals.
In October last year, Golf Legend Sir Nick Faldo took time out of his busy schedule to release soft shelled turtles, an endangered species into the lakes of Angkor Golf Resort.
The green oasis of Angkor Golf Resort attracts 'winter visitors' such as the Hoopoe and White wagtail, amongst other species.
Indigenous sugar palm's, uncultivated grasses and wetlands all provide wildlife corridors, whilst enhancing the beauty of this international golf course.
