Rare footage of a herd of wild Asian elephants making their way through Cambodia's largest forest sanctuary has raised hopes for the survival of the endangered species. <br />The night vision footage, captured in late 2015, show at least 12 elephants moving through the Central Cardamom Protected Forest (CCPF). <br />It is the largest group of wild Asian elephants filmed there in a decade, says Conservation International, which helps run the forest's conservation programme. It released the footage as it launched a joint trust fund with the government, to raise funds for it. <br />They were once common in South East Asia but now only exist in small areas as illegal logging and and other practices threaten their habitats.
