A look into life around Tonlé Sap which means 'Fresh River' or 'Great Lake'. The lake belongs to the Mekong River system and it is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the world, designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1997 due to its high biodiversity. Today’s Cambodia’s identity could be considered as deeply rooted in its Khmer culture and Buddhist traditions ( Theravada Buddhism, predominantly ).Their constitution enshrined the said religion as the official religion of the country.
