Peam Krasop in Southwestern Cambodia feels like another terraqueous globe entirely. Like many otherworldly sites in Southeast Asia, this world is in danger of disappearing – charcoal harvesting and shrimp farming are eating away at the fringes of this 23,000-hectare mangrove preserve, and it’s not hard to imagine a day when the mangroves will disappear forever.

Peam Krasop is one place that benefits from ecotourism; visitors leave with an awesome travel experience to yarn about while they get home, they furthermore leave dollars behind that will go to maintaining the mangrove sanctuary, money that stays useful long after the tourists have booked their return flights.
