Tonle Sap: Cambodia's Horn of Plenty
Tonle Sap in Khmer means Large Fresh Water River, more commonly translated as the "Great Lake". This is one of Cambodia's little gems that hide just beneath the radar of the tourist hypsters. But the range of human interest goes way beyond beaches and archaeology, and if eco systems and river cultures are part of your obsession, here's a gem for you! A combined lake and river system, the Tonle Sap is the largest body of fresh water in Southeast Asia. It is also one of the most productive water ecosystems in the world.
Designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1997, the Tonle Sap is unique in that it changes the direction of its flow as the lake portions expands or shrinks depending on the seasons. During the dry season from November to May, the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong and when the rains come back, the Tonle Sap changes course to form the enormous Tonle Sap lake. This direction reversal is celebrated in the now world famous full moon and water festival or Bon Om Touk in Phnom Penh and you really should see this world wonder.

The Tonle Sap Productivity
A River culture of about 3.6 miliion people

In the dry season, the Tonle Sap lake is about a meter deep most of the time and covers an area of 2,700 square kms but when the water reverses its flow and dumps Mekong water into the lake, this area expands to 16,000 square kms and 9 meters deep, flooding abutting fields and forests providing breeding places for fish and making the Tonle Sap one of the most productive inland fishing grounds in the world. It supports a river culture of about 3.6 million people and provides over 75 per cent of Cambodia's freshwater fish each year.
In 2010, the Tonle Sap gave Cambodia 550,000 tons of fish (405,000 were freshwater, 85,000 were salt water and 60,000 were from fish farms). It is also because of this that 30% of Cambodia's population live here and get their living from this source.

The Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve
9 Cambodian Provinces

Nine Cambodia provinces comprise the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve, namely, Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Thom, Preah Vihear, Pursat, Siem Reap, Otdar Meanchey and Krong Pailin. Even if Tonle Sap is considered Cambodia's horn of plenty, poverty is severe in most of these provinces.
Many international agencies focus their energy on the basin both to stop over development and to help the fishers strengthen family income through integrated development. What does that mean? Well, improving fishing doesn't help if you don't improve the roads to the markets and improve refrigerated storage and on and on. And you can see all this if you travel here.
Alternative Development to Support Environmental Protection
Development Projects in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve
To promote sustainable development in the area, the Asian Development launched in 2002, The Tonle Sap Initiative involving the stakeholders and other development organizations in solving the problems of poverty and environmental protection in the area. From this initiative, the Tonle Sap Environment Management Project which aims to protect the area so that the resources of the Tonle Sap be continually enjoyed by the next generation.
The project will help develop capacity in natural resource management coordination and planning, community based natural resource management, and biodiversity conservation of the reserve. Some of the projects are listed below:
- 1The Tonle Sap Conservation Project (19.8 million)
- 2The Tonle Sap Environment Management Project (19.86 million)
- 3The Tonle Sap Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (24 million)
- 4The Tonle Sap Sustainable Livelihoods (20.3 million)
- 5The Tonle Sap Lowland Rural Development Project (24 million)
Some Progress Made in Tonle Sap
After this Initiative

Progress in development and environmental conservation has been made after the initiative has been put in place. Observed were improvements on livelihoods, infrastructure, environment maintenance and increase in fish production. More flooded forests and mangroves as well as the come back of endangered species have also been noted. People in the area now have better access to financial and technical assistance especially in proper fishing, livestock raising and farming. More schools and health centers have also been opened to serve the area noting the access to education especially for girls.

The Development Dilemna
Balancing Economic and Environmental Needs
Although progress has been made after the initiative has been launched in the Tonle Sap, the great dilemna for government, stakeholders and partners remain: How do you strike the balance between conservation and poverty reduction?
What are your thoughts on this? Please add here.
A Difficult Dilemna
I strongly believe that unless you alleviate poverty of those living in the area, they will continue to use the resources to earn a living. We are talking here of people who are below poverty line. The ones who should be stopped are the rich people who exploit the resources depriving even more the ones who depend only on the Tonle Sap for their livelihood.0 points

The Tonle Sap Biodiversity
Hotspot for life of many species

This inland wetland, the Tonle Sap is an environmental hotspot in Southeast Asia. During the dry season, it covers an area of about 250,000-300,000 hectares. Multiply this by 5 times more during the rainy season. This is one of the most productive freshwater fisheries supporting around 70 per cent of Cambodia's protein intake and providing livelihood for the people living in the provinces that abut this lake.
It is the breeding place for fish that migrate down the Mekong and its many tributaries in various countries. It also acts as the reservoir from which water drains in the dry season, thereby, managing the salinity in the Mekong Delta. But it's also a highway, and you can travel up the Tonle Sap in good boats and really get a sense of the importance of river routes to history. And we haven't even mentioned birds and wildlife and river plants that form another staple of local diets
Given its strategic location, it is important to the continued existence of many species. It supports about 42 species of reptiles, some 225 species of birds, 46 mammals species, 46 species of zooplankton, 57species of benthic invertebrates, 107 fish species and about 200 plants.

The Tonle Sap Floating Village
Ethnic Vietnamese Villages on the Tonle Sap

The Tonle Sap is home to many ethnic Vietnamese who emigrated to Cambodia some about 100 years ago. Their floating settlements have become one of the great attractions in Siem Reap, very close to the Angkor. If you take the river as your highway from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, you'll be richly rewarded by watching these intrepid fishers.
Or, you can rent a boat after a day of temple bashing and just float among the village folk as they get about their business after sunset. As the tourist boats arrive, the ethnic Vietnamese come paddling over in boats loaded with children holding snakes and other exotic animals as well as women with beautifiul crafts and products. It makes a great evening and a fantastic contrast to downtown Bangkok! It's no more the "real" asia than the cities, but it is an important part of the reality and should not be missed.
In the village is a big store and restaurant, and you can see crocodiles in their cages. The residents get about their lives jumping from one boat to another to buy things from the corner store, visit their neighbors or go to a karaoke bar. It is not unusual for the propeller boats to get stuck going and coming form the village but it is a village life one seldom sees and they all pitch in to help each other. This is totally different from the Thai floating market.

Environmental Threats to the Tonle Sap
Destruction of natural habitats

The Tonle Sap floodplain's size and habitat diversity are of exceptional importance. It is essential to the survival of many species of birds, mammals, and reptiles. Messing with river/lake/wetland systems like this one without a really thorough understanding of the mess that can be made is really dangerous. And the messing about has started with illiegal encroachments on the shore lines destroying the natural habitat for fish farms as the profit can be substantial.
Threats include overexploitation of fisheries and wildlife resources, encroachment during the dry season, and cutting of the flooded forest, all leading to severe and rising levels of poverty. In the lakeside provinces about 38 percent of the population fall under the official poverty line, the highest proportion in the country.
The building of dams in Southern China and Laos has also threatened the strength and volume of the reverse flow into the Tonle Sap. Already fishermen are complaining catches are significantly down. How do we balance the need for energy with the need to protect natural food sources and vital wetlands? What happens to land when wetlands disappear and rainfall drowns the land? How do we convince big greedy countries that solving their problems by creating nightmares for their neighbours is just irresponsible?
