Cambodia will ban all elephant rides at the country's famed Angkor temple park by early next year, an official said Friday, a rare win for conservationists who have long decried the popular practice as cruel.
But these rides"will end by the start of 2020", said Long Kosal, a spokesman with the Apsara Authority, which manages the park. So far, five of the 14 working elephants have been transferred to a community forest about 40 kilometres away from the temples.The company that owns the elephants will continue to look after them, he added.
