Creating this extraordinary about Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains was an absolute delight. 😎🎥

Not only did I get to know many breathtaking places where I hadn't been before, but I also had the privilege of meeting wonderful people, and collaborating with a cool and remarkable team. 💪

Here’s to more inspiring projects together! 🥂🎬

MEET ‘PYCANUM RUBENS’ 🐞
In the lush landscapes of Prey Veng province, Cambodia, I spotted a fascinating insect: the Pycanum rubens, perched elegantly on a leaf.

Tessaratomids, or giant shield bugs, often resemble large stink bugs. They're known for their vibrant colors and intriguing behaviors. While most tessaratomidae hail from the Old World, a few species have made their way into the Neotropics.

Some exhibit remarkable maternal care, tending to their eggs and offspring. However, watch out! Their defensive chemicals can cause significant skin irritation and even temporary blindness if you're not careful.

These insects are strict vegetarians, but not all are harmless to plants. Some species are notorious agricultural pests, impacting crops significantly. Interestingly, in some cultures, a few tessaratomid species are also enjoyed as a culinary delicacy 😋

Nature's artistry is on full display with tessaratomids, as they are often vividly colored, adding a splash of brilliance to their surroundings.

Next time you’re exploring Cambodia’s diverse ecosystems, keep an eye out for these incredible insects! 🌍

នៅពីក្រោយការថត 🎥 ភាពយន្តឯកសារ PSA 🇰🇭🎞
នេះជាការថតខ្សែភាពយន្តឯកសារ PSA ដែលនិយាយពីការប្រែប្រួលអាកាសធាតុ ដែលពោរពេញទៅដោយសម្ថភាពនិងភាពឆ្លាតវៃ 🥳
វាជាពេលវេលាមួយដ៏ល្អសម្រាប់ខ្ញុំ ក្នុងការធ្វើការជាមួយគ្រប់គ្នាដែរពោរពេញទៅដោយការ ច្នៃប្រឌិត តស៊ូរ មានភាពជាអ្នកដឹកនាំ ដែលធ្វើឲ្យការងារនេះបានបញ្ចប់ទៅដោយរលូន ❤ សង្ឃឹមថាយើងនឹងបាន
ធ្វើការជាមួយគ្នាម្តងទៀត។

ហើយក៏សូមអរគុណដល់ Sopheak Film Fixer and Angkor Films ដែលបានផ្តល់ឪកាសអោយខ្ញុំបានថតភាពយន្ត/ DoP លើរឿងមួយនេះ 🙏

🐘 DISCOVER MONDULKIRI: Home of Cambodia’s Elephants 🌿

Nestled in the wild northeast, Mondulkiri is a sanctuary for these majestic creatures. For centuries, the local Bunong people relied on elephants for heavy work, such as logging and transportation. The deep bond between the Bunong and their elephants is rooted in tradition and mutual respect 🙏

Sadly, modernization has put these giants on the brink of extinction, now facing threats like habitat loss and poaching.

Fortunately, Mondulkiri’s lush forests provide a safe haven for these endangered animals, where approximately 350 Asian elephants roam freely, contributing to their rise in Cambodia.

Let’s celebrate their existence and protect their habitat! 🙌🏽🌟
