Rare Wild Cattle Herded in Cambodia by Helicopter
- On May 14, 2025, conservationists in Siem Pang, northeastern Cambodia, used a helicopter to drive a group of 16 critically endangered banteng into a truck for relocation.
- The operation responded to threats from Cambodia's high deforestation rates and habitat loss, with reports noting about 33 percent tree cover loss since 2000.
- Conservationists guided the banteng through a mass-capture funnel trap over three days before relocating them to a wildlife sanctuary for ongoing protection and monitoring.
- Conservation organizations described the technique as a major success that could facilitate similar efforts to move banteng living in remote, fragmented forest areas across the country.
- The successful herding marks progress in protecting banteng, which remain critically endangered due to hunting, logging, and industry amid Cambodia's ongoing forest clearance policies.
