On 23 December 2021, APSARA National Authority in collaboration with the Phnom Penh Forestry Administration and the Wildlife Alliance, released three other species of 14 birds, including four peafowls (3 males, 1 female), 6 Great Hornbill (5 males, 1 female) and 4 Wreathed Hornbills (males) from wildlife conservation organizations and local people. At that time two pileated gibbons were also released into the forest of Angkor Park and ACCB, under the coordination of the APSARA National Authority and the Wildlife Alliance, released four peacocks.
Since 2013, the project has successfully released several species of wildlife into the forest of Angkor Park, including 13 Pileated Gibbon (delivered seven babies) and four Red Muntjacs, 12 Silvered Langurs, five Common palm Civets, five Smooth-coated Otters (delivered two babies), two Leopard Cats, seven Oriental Pied Hornbills and some other animals that are still present there under the constant supervision and care of the team.
For the safety of all wild animals in the forest of Angkor Park and to increase the number of wildlife, APSARA National Authority, and the Angkor Wildlife Release Project call on the public, national and international guests, especially the people living in that area to take care of these wild animals and to avoid encountering bad intentions by not trying to feed them.
