The jungle that surrounds Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple is once again rich with wildlife following decades of hunting, which devastated the wildlife in the area.

The re-introduction of rare pileated gibbons has been particularly successful since the first pair was reintroduced in 2013.

Nick Marx, a director at the Wildlife Alliance.

Globally, gibbons are one of the most threatened families of primates.

Moreover, the pileated gibbon is listed as endangered.

The Cambodian rainforests have been stripped of much of their wildlife due to poaching and habitat loss through logging, agriculture, and dam building.

Widespread poverty had also led to the animals being eaten as a source of protein.

The Angkor Wat temple and its surrounding forests were declared a world heritage site in 1992.

This means it has benefited from increased legal and physical protections.

The temple is the country's most popular tourist site.

It's hoped that the reintroduction of 40 different kinds of animals and birds will increase tourism and encourage conservation and education for tourists and locals.

Moeurn Sarin is a local villager who is helping to feed the gibbons.

For Nick Marx it's the reuniting of Cambodia's cultural heritage with its wildlife that gives him a sense of accomplishment.
