I was called by Jack Highwood from Elephant Valley Project to tell me that Sambo, a female elephant from Kampong Speu Province, had trampled her owner and was running amok. I travelled down with him and his team of mahouts over the following days to cover story as a video journalist (VJ).
Jack’s team and a team from Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center monitored Sambo, before transporting her to the rescue centre.
I’ve since worked as a video journalist for the Phnom Penh Post and international agencies including AFP. I look forward to covering more stories in Cambodia and throughout the region.
