The Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity is a conservation and rehabilitation facility located near Siem Reap, Cambodia. The centre focuses on rescuing, rehabilitating and in some cases breeding native wildlife while running environmental education programs.
On-site activities include veterinary care, enclosure-husbandry and habitat management for rescued animals, together with outreach and education for local communities and visitors. The centre serves both conservation and public-awareness roles rather than functioning as a conventional zoo.
The centre was established to provide a local facility for wildlife care and conservation in the Angkor/Siem Reap region and has since developed programs for species rehabilitation and community engagement. Its work complements national and regional conservation efforts in Cambodia.
The facility sits on the outskirts of Siem Reap, close to the Angkor archaeological area, and is reachable by road from the city. It operates as a regional conservation hub rather than a large tourist complex.
- Mission: Operates as a small rescue, rehabilitation and captive-breeding centre focused on native Cambodian wildlife and conservation outreach near Siem Reap.
