Cambodia has only recently opened its borders to the outside world so sights from our Cambodia webcams are still relatively scarce. This tropical country is dominated by the huge Mekong River and most of the 14.8 million population are dependant upon agriculture for their livelihood. It has a monsoon climate with torrential rains from May to October.
The main attraction is the magnificent temple complex called Angkor Wat at Siem Reap which now attracts more than 4 million visitors a year. The UNESCO listed biosphere encompasses the Tonle Sap Lake area which has a wide variety of plants and animals. Cambodia has the highest rate of deforestation in the world, with 70% lost between 1970 and 2007
