A team of gardeners are trying to protect Cambodia’s most valued heritage site - Angkor Wat. They’re trying to ensure the ancient temple complex is not strangled by overgrown trees sprouting from cracks in the structures’ sandstone. They scale the heights of buildings barefoot, with hard hats as their only safety equipment.

cambodian here! salute and respect to the uncles who work there. they really taking risks.
Me too also Cambodian salute
they are your uncles?
Emerther Obs, no but in asia we call the elders uncle/auntie
@@emerther5843 it's a way to call elder's your troll
@@emerther5843 no we Cambodian usually call everyone uncle, auntie, brother and sister no matter if there are related or not. Cuz we're polite
thier ancestors are smiling on them up in heavens.....for a job well done...and taking care of thier national treasure.
Love Cambodia, from the Philippines🇵🇭❤🇰🇭
Huge respect for those people 🙏🏻
They’re using minimal/light equipment to minimize the risk of damaging the temple’s structure.
@erick meyer Have you been to Angkor and seen the restoration process?? Everything has to be done traditionally without using heavy industrial equipment because that’s the regulation. Beside your can’t just disassemble the temple floor or corridor to set up a crane.
Bless these brave souls and their tireless commitment to saving and preserving Angkor Wat,whilst simultaneously working in harmony with nature. Bless all gardeners and horticulturists
With the amount of profits being made, I am sure the maintenance company can invest in better safety equipment than hardhats
It's mentioned in the video that they can't use other equipment such as harness to secure themselves as it would damage the Temple itself, plus those mens have been doing the job for years, most likely be palm tree climbers prior to gardening at the temple. I've seen many of them climb the trees without anything so you just have to trust them on it.
this is a sacred historical temple, the other protective gears will damage the temple. That is why they not use that.
i mean... it is written in the video
@@RadiatedPotato u guys are idiots of course that's what the company would say u guys really think they couldn't even get gloves for these people ? Some type of slip wear.
@@Kiyoone ur also a fool for thinking thats true and not because the company is cheap
Dear sir , Your comments like uneducated people, why you insult everyone in your comments? If you think your thoughts was true why don’t you proof it by showing the example of what other countries do ? From Cambodia 🇰🇭
Cambodian +1 🇰🇭🙋🏻♂️
You half china ?
Cambodian half Chinese
Huge respect to them!!!
Cambodian here 🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭we love Cambodia Angkor wat

Angkor wat !!!
Salute to the skill worker for this
I’m from cambodia like if you from cambodia too🇰🇭
bruh kid
Like three from me
Not all hero wearing a cape 👍
Maybe some sort of drone w/ garden shears can help out in the future
Wow.. These man are very brave..
I feel like i need to have 10 lives to do tht
Yes....this....is...our...symbolic....so...save.....it.....love....this....cultures...
Moss,algae covered surface can be slippery.
Use a drone next time, please!!
Don't know why but drone had been ban around angkor wat and other temple
Imagine those people who built it
Its build by aliens
@@Noone-gz8li proof?
@@jemappllesphan6143They call alien temple when it not built by white people.😂
@@cambotruth6365
Not all of white people bro...
But I really feeling sick for some people who say that Angkor built by aliens, bruhh!
proof of nature's reclamation
You don't realise people are legally risking their lives to preserve this monument to Cambodians and all of humanity.
They should use fire engines ladders for that for safety
Amazing yes
how about an extendable crane?
My left earphone enjoyed this.
Industrial drone with chemical for the various plants at a closer interval will be the best solution IMHO. The guys don't need be be up there if no inspection or cleaning is required.
Just use garlon 250
♥️♥️♥️
Why dont the goverment invest in crane?
Using rope, climbing gear will demage the temple. Even drone, You can't remove small tree with drone. Look at the stone structure... Too risky for drone. But maybe the future.
Safety regulations need to be enforced and not disregarded. This is unacceptable.
I sometimes climb bare foot when I rock climb plus I’m Cambodian. Maybe it just runs in the blood of my people hahaha
yeah cambodians are capable of stuff like this lol
why not use a drone with a flame thrower?
Drones are better option I would say
Drone equip with chainsaw or something similar it's easy cut tree at Forest yeah I agree but at temple just one or two mistake hit trmple it damage temple more than those tree
Spray it with AGENT ORANGE !!
That is so amurican
Isn't it better to use a drone?
Drones might keep people safe.
Nah, don't you see small grass?
Thanks from india it's important for me.... religiously and historicaly
Cambodia is a great country but they have low equipment like they didnt even invent one single product some of them did but they didnt sell or make it as a job investment
We have drone but if we use drone it will
Take away human job, if a person do a job, we need at least 5 people but If they use drone it will only need 1 drone. I use to work in canon company and they keep bringing more robot and people lose job
Khmer 🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
👍
They need to come up with an idea using drone with cutting accessory to cut those plants at hight elevations.
Temple structure is too complicated. Other wise, how can drone remove grass?
why not just spray salt water on vulnerable spots?
I think its the oldest hindu tample

Philippines temples were kinda similar if only the Spaniards haven't destroyed them and replaced them with churches, litterially destroyed the philippines cultures along with historical scriptures. Imagine what The Philippines or Maharlika would look like today
🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🚩
glyphosate...preferably on a stick :/
Pesticides
They should put salt or some kind of substance to prevent any kind of plants to growing in there,just a though,I'm not a engineer or biologist.
Thats not angker what ..but prambanan
