CAMBODIA FEATURE PACKAGE ANGKOR CONSERVATION

epa01178636 ATTENTION EDITORS:

This advisory is followed by a 9 pictures feature package on reconstruction work on the ruin of the Angkor Wat temple at the Angkor Conservation Center in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

The Buddhist temple of Angkor Wat, built by King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century, has been the target of occupiers and looters since mid-19th century. The restored temples of Angkor Wat attract more than two million tourists to Cambodia each year, facing additional conservation problems to opinion of the Cambodian and UN authorities, who fear the ruins are at risk from people clambering over the temple ruins.
