Hello everybody,

Here are two WCS videos showing rarely filmed wild places and their wildlife. For many such places in the tropics, this may be the first and last time they have been filmed:

Preah Vihear in northern Cambodia, lowland dry forest that has all but disappeared from neighbouring countries. Wildlife still present: gaur, banteng, elephant, giant ibis, vultures, muntjac, wild boars... Problems: new road to Laos, commercial poaching. Video:

Southern Sudan, Boma-Jonglei landscape. This is the scene of one of the most spectacular wildlife discoveries in decades: a wildlife migration on the scale of the Serengeti, but consisting not of wildebeest, but of possibly a million white-eared kob, as well as many thousands of tiang, Mongalla gazelles and other species that have been wiped out elsewhere. This was discovered in 2007, and efforts are now underway to protect it. Video:
