PHNOM PENH: Three nests of Siamese crocodile eggs – one of the world’s most critically endangered species – were discovered in 2025 in the Chhay Reap area of Sre Ambel district, Koh Kong province, and in the O’Som area of the Cardamom Mountains National Park.

Conservationists hope the eggs which were fertilised will hatch in the upcoming month of August.
