The Mekong flooded forest is a unique ecosystem that ensures food security and income for the local community in Cambodia. However, the irregular water flow is gradually depleting the forest’s abundance. The Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia is facing significant challenges from deforestation, climate change and dam-induced water on the Mekong River. Despite these encountered challenges, the Kampong Phluk community in Siem Reap Province has been working to preserve the flooded forest. Known locally as Prey Kub, the flooded forest has become a source of community development, biodiversity preservation, and food security. This film is about the relationship of villagers and fishers with the flooded forest and the fish in the Tonle Sap Lake.
