This episode follows the seasonal ebb and flow of the Mekong River through Cambodia, a nation where everything is deeply connected to water. From the diverse wildlife to the people living in stilt villages on Lake Tonle Sap, the river has shaped life for centuries. The journey begins at Angkor Wat, a symbol of a civilization built around the essential resource of water. In the dry season, vultures feed on a carcass, playing a key role in maintaining the ecosystem’s health, while flying foxes, thriving on their seasonal diet, continue to care for their hungry pups. As the dry season progresses, wildfires pose a threat to creatures like the oriental Pratincole, but May brings the wet season, transforming the landscape. Lake Tonle Sap fills, submerging forests and providing ideal breeding grounds for fish and the endangered Sarus Crane(Antigone antigone). The Mekong River remains the lifeblood of Cambodia, sustaining both its people and wildlife.
