There's a button with a green circle on it when you are posting, just choose a file after pressing that.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Killing Bokor Mountain
the removal of wildlife & their natural habit is in the final stages but still some stubborn species are just hanging on, but not for much longer
soon the only life on the planet will be 50 billion humans & their farms

I saw gigantic birds there and you could hear it when they were moving their wings. Passing me maybe 20 metres above me. Amazing sight.

Re: Killing Bokor Mountain
Great Hornbills, to be exact. Yes, they are still pretty common. Though I wonder what their breeding success is like now with many of the large trees they need for breeding gone.

@john bingham: Thanks for your advise on how to upload a photo. Nothing worked ! I hit the picture button and got this [img][img]. I tried copy and cut and paste but nothing ever produced a result where i could actually get a picture uploaded. What did i do wrong ?
Re: Killing Bokor Mountain
I had visited a few year's back and seen the hornbills. An amazing sight.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

What happened to Bokor Mountain is also happening at other places in Cambodia
Kompong Speu, Rattanakiri are only two examples.

Thailand, Indonesia and China have by far the worst air pollution problems, most a result of fires,deliberately set.
In Europe Greece, Southern France and Portugal are the ones suffering from annual fires. Often they are related to thugs trying to grab land for building purposes.

Re: Killing Bokor Mountain
I rode up on my bicycle once 5 years ago and saw those big black monkeys with white-faces about midway up where the trees were tall and dense.... another time, standing by the cliff at the top behind the abandoned resort, I saw three huge hornbills fly right past me, only ten metres out from the cliff... Amazing, huge creatures, and you could hear the biggest swooshing sound being generated by their flapping wings.
Now, look at this story:
...A local Cambo dickhead, grinning proudly like a silly idiot with a hornbill he has just shot. Do they fine him? No. Do they put him in jail? No. He is grinning while being "re-educated" and "promising not to do it again"...
The killing of Bokor mountain is really happening: it's ongoing, the same as the rest of the natural world everywhere on Earth is being destroyed very quickly, from sea to valley and mountain...

Re: Killing Bokor Mountain
Wow-what a bird- thanks for posting that picture. I have not seen that Hornbill species. I need to go there and hopefully see some wildlife.
Still here, in country...
