I am a conservation zoologist, originally from Spain, based in Cambodia. In 2015, with the Center for Biodiversity Conservation of the Royal University of Phnom Pehn and FFI, we found fishing cats still persisted in the coastal mangroves. In 2016, I founded Kla Trey | Cambodian Fishing Cat Project to study and protect the species and its habitats. We started surveying for fishing cat around the Tonle Sap flooded forests in 2020 and we’re also paying attention to issues concerning leopard cat.
