THE US Agency for International Development’s “Greening Prey Lang Project” (USAID-GPLP) is working with local communities and other partners to conserve the oriental darter and other endangered species found in the Prey Lang extended landscape.

According to USAID-GPLP, the oriental darter is a cormorant-like bird that is most at home in and around wetlands.
