Hero who protected dolphins has drowned in Kratie storm.
A fisheries employee in Kratie province was found dead on Monday after going missing during a Sunday night storm, local officials said.
The body of Le Sokleng, a 32-year-old river guard of the provincial Fisheries Administration (FA), was discovered at about 7am yesterday, 10 kilometres from the Kampi resort where endangered fresh water dolphins are found.
...
“On the way back, he approached a small island called Prea and stopped, hoping the storm would go away,” said Ponlouk, repeating the accounts of the survivors on Sokleng’s boat. “But the waves hit his boat three times and it sank.”
In a statement yesterday, WWF said it regarded Sokleng, an employee of the FA since 2014, as a hero who protected the Mekong dolphins.
“He was very tied to his work and people in the community liked him,” Ponlouk said.
