Saving Angkor

The Temples of Angkor undoubtedly has an important position in the life of Cambodian people. Not only in terms of tourism but also in their culture, religion and national identity, the latter is shown clearly in the national flag. The Angkor Archaeological Park, located in northern Cambodia, is claimed as the most important archaeological site in South East Asia.

Stretching over 400 square kilometers, Angkor has been a major tourist destination in Cambodia. But along with the increasing number of tourist visiting the site, the original condition inside the temples are deteriorating. To preserve this valuable heritage and culture of Cambodia, an effort to preserve the artifacts is currently under progress at Angkor Conservation Office (Conservation D’Angkor) where approximately 7,000 items from the temples are kept and registered.
