DUONG Nara
CBGA GUIDE — Nara Duong was a former guide at Sam Veasna Center for a decade and he joined CBGA in 2016 till the present. Coming from a farming family in the countryside, he had never travelled outside his home village as a young man. However, becoming a bird guide opened up the entire country to him—a transformation that left him deeply appreciative of Cambodia’s diverse landscapes, vibrant communities, and rich wildlife.
Discovering his country’s natural beauty inspired Nara’s deep passion for birding. Over the years, he has led numerous tours for both world-renowned birding companies and private clients including: BirdQuest, Wings, Vent, Avifauna, amongst others. He has developed sharp identification skills by both sight and call, and he remains dedicated to researching new species and supporting local conservation efforts.
