FROM REMOTE LANDS

春节快乐 (Chūnjié kuàilè) from all of us here at Remote Lands as we wish you a Happy Year of the Rat. It may not sound like the most auspicious animal, but in the great Zodiac race that decided the order, the rat came in first. The rat beat out the rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig by hiding in the Ox’s ear and jumping out at the last minute.

  Coincidentally, Remote Lands recently launched an itinerary for sustainable travelers that includes some very brave little critters, called Community Impact & Conservation in Cambodia. In Siem Reap, travelers can learn about landmine clearance at the APOPO HeroRATs Center, where courageous rats are trained to sniff out mines. Travelers on this journey will also delve into the Cardamom Forest to join rangers on anti-poaching patrols and sail from Sihanoukville to a private island. READ MORE
