Google translation of title and introduction: Cambodia – Life on Tonle Sap Lake December 3, 2019 Tonle Sap Lake is one of the most fish-rich waters on earth. However, due to the constantly changing water level as a result of the monsoons, people are forced to come to terms with nature in a special way. Many fishermen live with their families in floating villages and on houseboats. Even the school, the gas station and the supermarket float on the water. To get a little insight into the life of the people on the lake, we took a small supply boat from Battambang in western Cambodia to Siem Reap, where we also wanted to see lesser-known temples. The owner of our small hotel in Battambang had enabled us to take the supply boat. We were the only westerners, the supply boat usually doesn’t take tourists.
Der Tonle-Sap-See gehört zu den fischreichsten Gewässern der Erde. Durch den sich ständig ändernden Wasserspiegel infolge des Monsuns sind die Menschen jedoch gezwungen, sich in besonderer Weise mit der Natur zu arrangieren. Viele Fischer leben mit ihren Familien in schwimmenden Dörfern und auf Hausbooten. Sogar die Schule, die Tankstelle und der Supermarkt schwimmen auf dem Wasser. Um einen kleinen Einblick in das Leben der Menschen auf dem See zu bekommen, fuhren wir mit einem kleinen Versorgungsboot von Battambang im Westen Kambodschas nach Siem Reap, wo wir uns auch weniger bekannte Tempel ansehen wollten. Der Besitzer unseres kleinen Hotels in Battambang hatte es uns ermöglicht, mit dem Versorgungsboot zu fahren. Wir waren die einzigen Westler, das Versorgungsboot nimmt normalerweise keine Touristen mit.

Drone activity has increased with the popularity of the remote-controlled flying cameras, but it’s only part of the illegal activity disturbing the usually abundant bird life at the reserve, according to both Loebl and Molsberry. With the pandemic driving more and more people to outdoor spaces, last year saw about 100,000 visitors to the Bolsa Chica reserve – up from about 60,000 the previous year, Loebl said. That’s contributed not only to increased drone activity, but also to more dogs and bicycles on the trails – all of which are illegal. Another problem is the Brightwater development of multimillion-dollar homes on the hillside at the north end of the reserve overlooking the wetlands. While most residents respect the sensitive nature of the estuary, there are a few troublesome scofflaws that allow their dogs into the area. “It’s residents that sometimes feel entitled, that feel they should be able to use the land as they like,” Molsberry said. As with the drones, dogs mean fewer birds at the de factor avian sanctuary. At nearly 1,500 acres, the reserve is the largest saltwater marsh between Monterey Bay and the Tijuana River Estuary. Some 800 species of plants and animals l
