:00:00. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to The Travel Show, with me, Henry Golding, coming

:00:16. > :00:19.from Cambodia. This week I will be escaping the hustle and bustle of

:00:20. > :00:27.Phnom Penh in search of getting up close and personal with some of the

:00:28. > :00:30.wire life here. This is Maya. We sent them up to the Scottish

:00:31. > :00:37.Highlands to find his way to the country's most remote pub. I can't

:00:38. > :00:40.use a map, compass or GPS to help me get to my destination. All I'm going

:00:41. > :00:42.to use as my sterling sense of direction and these tips from one

:00:43. > :01:13.Briton's leading natural navigators. A few miles from Cambodia's bustling

:01:14. > :01:17.capital Phnom Penh, a battle is being fought to preserve the balance

:01:18. > :01:23.between Cambodia's wildlife and its environment. In the dance card

:01:24. > :01:30.mountain rainforest towards the west of the country, the illegal logging,

:01:31. > :01:32.coaching and endangering of animals is leaving many animals injured or

:01:33. > :01:55.worse. I'm going to go and see what is

:01:56. > :01:59.being done to stop the damage. At first, I want to visit a centre that

:02:00. > :02:04.is showing tourists how it rehabilitates these injured animals.

:02:05. > :02:11.Hello, I'm Henry. How are you? Good, yourself? Pleasure. Welcome to

:02:12. > :02:17.our nursery over here. I can hear it from a mile off. This is where all

:02:18. > :02:23.baby animals come. Look how precious they are! Beautiful. So many of

:02:24. > :02:28.them. So these ones are all rescued by the airport. And the rescue team

:02:29. > :02:34.went and rescued them and brought them here. What types of animals do

:02:35. > :02:37.you actually accept? Anything, so anything that comes through our

:02:38. > :02:47.doors we will take Tom that is wildlife. Really? We never say no to

:02:48. > :02:54.an animal. Look at it! So this is Maya. And why is she here? Rescued

:02:55. > :02:59.from the pet trade which is quite common with the animals coming to

:03:00. > :03:02.us. They grow up a little bit older, and these ones in particular need

:03:03. > :03:05.specialised care and they start getting sick and people don't want

:03:06. > :03:10.them any more. So what are the main danger is that the wildlife here in

:03:11. > :03:14.Cambodia actually face? Habitat destruction is one of the main

:03:15. > :03:19.ones, illegal logging also. Not having enough food because their

:03:20. > :03:23.habitats are being taken, and being illegally taken from the wild in

:03:24. > :03:30.snares and food, and the pet trade because they are very cute. As much

:03:31. > :03:35.as I would love to hold her, feed her, and just play with her, I

:03:36. > :03:39.suppose, I can't, because part of the rehabilitation process is

:03:40. > :03:48.limiting that human interaction, and the keepers essentially become their

:03:49. > :03:53.surrogate mothers. Cambodia is one of Asia's top countries for exported

:03:54. > :03:58.wildlife. It also has one of the worst deforestation rates in the

:03:59. > :04:03.world. The country lost almost a quarter of its forest cover between

:04:04. > :04:07.1973 and 2009. Illegal logging is blamed for some of this loss but

:04:08. > :04:12.others point the finger at corporations and officials who did

:04:13. > :04:20.deals which some to a land grab. Hello, little babies. A shift in

:04:21. > :04:24.position from authorities gives far more protection to remaining

:04:25. > :04:36.forest, welcome news for any monkeys in the market for a new home. Hello,

:04:37. > :04:41.look at this place. It is like a playground. So what is the space

:04:42. > :04:47.here so this is where our primates come from the nursery, and get to

:04:48. > :04:53.habituate from other primates. Before being released back into the

:04:54. > :04:58.wild. So there is a mix of species? So these are called some tales, and

:04:59. > :05:04.the ones in the top of the enclosure are called longtailed macaques. A

:05:05. > :05:18.tremendous amount of food, so that dish it out. So these ones are

:05:19. > :05:25.six-month-old to one old. So why is it that we can actually interact

:05:26. > :05:28.with these ones? Macaques live right next to human habitation in the

:05:29. > :05:48.wild, everywhere, so it doesn't affect them as much. While. He

:05:49. > :05:52.hears. -- wow. Here he is. He is beautiful. So this is cheap, our

:05:53. > :05:58.youngest elephant in the park, and he has a prosthetic on the left

:05:59. > :06:03.front foot here, and lost his leg to a hunting snare -- Chip. They are

:06:04. > :06:09.trying to catch something much smaller like deer or wild boar or

:06:10. > :06:12.monkeys for food, and he came into it by accident. We will change it

:06:13. > :06:17.now, take the stock off and have a look at the stump. He is strong

:06:18. > :06:22.enough he was able to pull out of the snare, as he tried to pull out

:06:23. > :06:26.of it it has cut into his leg and cut the bottom of his leg off as he

:06:27. > :06:31.struggled more and more. That is amazing, knows exactly what to do.

:06:32. > :06:36.And he helps put it on as well. It is amazing. They are not worried

:06:37. > :06:39.about who they catch? They are really not concerned as to what kind

:06:40. > :06:44.of damage they are doing, but anybody who comes along can get

:06:45. > :06:47.caught. Yes, so it is decimating wildlife populations across the

:06:48. > :06:59.globe, particularly Southeast Asia. It is horrible. Later on in the

:07:00. > :07:04.shower I will be raising deep into cardamom, joining the team sent to

:07:05. > :07:14.tackle the problems facing the wildlife. That is shocking, to say

:07:15. > :07:20.the least. Next up, then it's off to the wilds of the Scottish Highlands

:07:21. > :07:26.to try his hand as a spot of natural navigation -- Ben is off. The art of

:07:27. > :07:33.using nature and environment to tell you which way to go. Before

:07:34. > :07:45.smartphones, GPS, before maps and compasses, how did we navigate the

:07:46. > :07:50.world around us? I am in the North of Scotland to embark upon a

:07:51. > :07:58.three-day hike across one of the country's most isolated regions. My

:07:59. > :08:01.destination is home to the most isolated pub in Britain. I am going

:08:02. > :08:06.to attempt it without any of the modern tools we use to find our way

:08:07. > :08:11.around. So I can't use a map, a compass or GPS to help me get to my

:08:12. > :08:14.destination. All I'm going to use as my sterling sense of direction and

:08:15. > :08:24.these tips from one of Britain's leading natural navigators.

:08:25. > :08:29.Navigation is the rout of finding a way using nature. It used to be used

:08:30. > :08:32.all the time, of course, before humankind invented instruments it

:08:33. > :08:35.was the only navigation we had and human beings found their way across

:08:36. > :08:39.pretty much the whole planet using natural navigation. So it is

:08:40. > :08:42.something as a species we are clearly capable of but it is also

:08:43. > :08:46.something we have forgotten about. So I am going on a 30 mile hike

:08:47. > :08:52.across the Highlands with no technology, which is terrifying.

:08:53. > :08:57.Using natural navigation. Natural navigation. And you haven't done any

:08:58. > :09:04.natural navigation? You may have bitten off more than you can Choo,

:09:05. > :09:10.but we will see what we can do. What we want to do is look for a shape

:09:11. > :09:13.called the plough. What we have got is seven stars, you want a line to

:09:14. > :09:30.make things up on the ground to make a perfect north-south line. So the

:09:31. > :09:39.path they need to take it somewhere north-west of here. The problem is,

:09:40. > :09:45.I don't really know where north-west is. And that is where the power of

:09:46. > :09:49.natural navigation comes in. OK, so there is a technique in this magical

:09:50. > :09:59.book that tells me how to find north using the power of the sun. And it

:10:00. > :10:04.involves me finding a stick. And hopefully making it stay up, there

:10:05. > :10:09.we go. Next, mark the tip of the shadow with a small object. I will

:10:10. > :10:14.use a pebble. And then I have to wait ten to 15 minutes and hopefully

:10:15. > :10:19.the shadow will move. As the sun moves across the sky, the theory

:10:20. > :10:25.goes you can use the shadow to chart a very rough east-west line. The

:10:26. > :10:29.next step is to mark the new position with another stone. And I

:10:30. > :10:36.need to draw a straight line. There we go. I stand with my left foot on

:10:37. > :10:44.the first mark and stand with my right, and I faced straight. This

:10:45. > :10:50.should be pretty much true North. Which means that a roundabout there

:10:51. > :10:54.are should be north-west, which should hopefully be my destination.

:10:55. > :10:59.Or if I've got it completely wrong, the middle of nowhere.

:11:00. > :11:12.Once I know the direction, finding my path is fairly easy and I'm on my

:11:13. > :11:16.way. Wow, this is the bridge from Harry Potter. It looks better in

:11:17. > :11:28.real life. So I've made it to my house for the

:11:29. > :11:32.night. It looks nice and cosy. Now let's see if I've got any

:11:33. > :11:37.neighbours. Small houses like this one can be found all over the

:11:38. > :11:47.Scottish Highlands. There are left open for hikers like myself to camp

:11:48. > :11:56.in overnight. Welcome. I just need to set up my bed. I have some

:11:57. > :12:02.neighbours over there. Hello. It's not the most glamorous of places to

:12:03. > :12:08.stay, but it's quite nice. And voila. Today has been pretty

:12:09. > :12:12.straightforward. And that -- and natural navigation has helped me get

:12:13. > :12:17.to the bottom, what I still have 25 miles to go. Tomorrow I continue

:12:18. > :12:21.north, which means my next challenge is to find the Northstar. In the

:12:22. > :12:27.northern hemisphere the Northstar is a constant feature of the night sky.

:12:28. > :12:31.OK, first only to find the plough. I can see it directly over me. This

:12:32. > :12:40.illustration is actually extremely accurate. So if I follow that...

:12:41. > :12:47.One, two, three, four... Five... I think that's it. Yeah, there it is.

:12:48. > :12:52.So I've got to remember that the direction I'm headed tomorrow. And

:12:53. > :12:57.we'll be digging up the rest of Ben's journey in next week's show.

:12:58. > :13:00.In the meantime, if you are tempted to try natural navigation yourself

:13:01. > :13:05.to make sure you set off with the right kit. Details on the link

:13:06. > :13:13.below. Take a map and compass anyway just in case. Still to come on The

:13:14. > :13:18.Travel Show, I'm on the back of a motet hunting the poachers hiding in

:13:19. > :13:24.the Cambodian jungle. It is almost like trying to stay on a Bucking

:13:25. > :13:25.Bronco. The Travel Show, your essential guide wherever you're

:13:26. > :13:40.heading. TRANSLATION: I am from Hungary. I

:13:41. > :13:45.have studied cooking and farming since 1969. In our kitchen we are

:13:46. > :13:51.able to make 400 to 500 dishes from memory. We have six members of staff

:13:52. > :13:55.who speak six different languages. Probably this is one of our secrets

:13:56. > :14:05.to why we are so popular and obviously the quality.

:14:06. > :14:16.The goulash is a very old, traditional Hungarian dish. It used

:14:17. > :14:19.to be the food for the herdsman. Sometimes they had to butcher the

:14:20. > :14:21.weaker cows and use them to make a stew or a soup in an open fire, with

:14:22. > :14:36.locally grown vegetables and spices. The ingredients are carrots, roots,

:14:37. > :14:43.celery, green peppers and caraway seeds. For me you can use Martin,

:14:44. > :14:46.Cowell, sheep, boat or even if you don't have these animals you can use

:14:47. > :14:56.chicken. -- mutton, cow. That's tasty as well. This is part of my

:14:57. > :15:02.job, to make sure everything is OK at the front of house.

:15:03. > :15:13.What the gentleman asked for is a type of lush -- goulash .

:15:14. > :15:27.We do to two types of goulash, one with beans. Both of them are very

:15:28. > :15:38.popular. This kind of dish you only need to have a bowl of it and it

:15:39. > :15:46.keeps you going all day long. This province, a quiet province in part

:15:47. > :15:48.of Cambodia, an area made up of a vast coastline, partially

:15:49. > :15:54.inaccessible rainforest and barely a tourist in sight. But in the summer

:15:55. > :15:57.tourists can pay to experience what the rangers in the front line of

:15:58. > :16:06.trafficking and login here are dealing with. I was up at 6am trying

:16:07. > :16:09.to get you for about 7am. This is a patrol station where I will meet the

:16:10. > :16:16.team who will take me on patrol. Good morning. How are you? I am

:16:17. > :16:24.Henry. I am 80. Lovely to meet you. Look pretty serious. We are

:16:25. > :16:33.preparing to go on a daily patrol. -- I am Eddy.1 there are guns as

:16:34. > :16:38.there is a real danger? Yes. The loggers are illegal poachers. They

:16:39. > :16:46.never want to get caught by law enforcement people because if they

:16:47. > :16:53.get caught they will go to jail. I am going to show you our evidence

:16:54. > :16:57.stall. -- store. That is shocking to say the least. Have a look at how

:16:58. > :17:01.many chainsaws they've actually commandeered from these illegal

:17:02. > :17:09.loggers. How many would you say there are? Over 500. But this piece

:17:10. > :17:18.of timber you see, this is the famous road would, expensive in

:17:19. > :17:21.China. -- rosewood. And these would just be looped around the tree?

:17:22. > :17:28.Waiting for someone to come along? Yes.

:17:29. > :17:46.So, time for me to take on the criminals. Kind of. Let's go!

:17:47. > :17:53.The majority of the roads are much like this or even worse. No

:17:54. > :18:31.concrete, no tarmac, jungle, sand . It's pretty scary. We were stopping

:18:32. > :18:34.for a bit of a war to break out in the distance there were two guys on

:18:35. > :18:39.motorbikes who literally just left on their bike and run. Luckily one

:18:40. > :18:41.of the guys saw that, started chasing and what happened is they

:18:42. > :18:48.have dropped whatever they were carrying and this was it. Rosewood.

:18:49. > :18:54.Yes. The perpetrators were too quick to get away this time. It is clearly

:18:55. > :18:58.a tough job for this rangers. Making our way through the forest is hard

:18:59. > :19:03.enough. This is the only way of getting these across without getting

:19:04. > :19:15.the engine to flooded. Hopefully no crocodiles!

:19:16. > :19:47.This road is getting bumpier and bumpier. It is almost like trying to

:19:48. > :19:52.stay on a bucking bronco. The reason why the rangers are here is because

:19:53. > :20:00.the mountain is Asia's only rainforest in the region and if we

:20:01. > :20:07.don't protect them it will be gone and what it is gone -- once it is

:20:08. > :20:15.gone it can't come back. So we are trying, with the government, to

:20:16. > :20:19.prevent, stop, this from happening. This deforestation is destroying

:20:20. > :20:23.animals' habitats and that's not the only man-made dangers they face

:20:24. > :20:28.here. The remains of snares can be found all around. It's a strong

:20:29. > :20:34.piece of stick. They played in the ground. They come and get the piece

:20:35. > :20:39.of fruit and is getting caught. There is a bit missing. Yes, it is

:20:40. > :20:44.missing the fruit. I believe something else is missing. So a lot

:20:45. > :20:50.of these traps are designed to maim, rather than kill, so they can

:20:51. > :20:53.keep -- collect them alive? Yes. Having seen the damage the mayors

:20:54. > :20:57.like this can do to even much larger animals than their intended targets,

:20:58. > :21:02.it is quite shocking to see them up close. With so many families in

:21:03. > :21:07.rural Cambodia teetering just above the poverty line, I suspect that

:21:08. > :21:10.most of those engaged in snaring and logging are just hoping for a way to

:21:11. > :21:15.help themselves and their families get by. We missing it myself, I also

:21:16. > :21:27.come face-to-face with the brutal impact it can have.

:21:28. > :21:32.What an amazing place to finish off the patrol of the wildlife Alliance

:21:33. > :21:37.ranges. I have to say this has probably been one of the most

:21:38. > :21:41.gruelling shoots I've had with The Travel Show, but it has been

:21:42. > :21:44.extremely fulfilling and it is just a glimpse into how much work

:21:45. > :21:50.actually goes into protecting a place like this. I'm done, I'm

:21:51. > :21:55.finished. I am going to go home and rest Mysore am, I think. A long day!

:21:56. > :22:22.-- my sore bum. That's all the time we have for this

:22:23. > :22:26.week. Coming up next week, Ben is still trying to find his way to

:22:27. > :22:29.drink in the most part of Britain. I took this route headed north, but

:22:30. > :22:33.along the way there's been a few more twists and turns than I

:22:34. > :22:37.imagined, so I'm not British or refined headed in the right

:22:38. > :22:40.direction. Join us for that if you can. And don't forget you can follow

:22:41. > :22:44.us wherever we are in the world by joining our social media feeds. All

:22:45. > :22:49.the details on the bottom of your screens now. From the Henry Golding

:22:50. > :23:16.and the rest of The Travel Show in Cambodia, goodbye .

:23:17. > :23:22.Unlike the last couple of weekends most of you can expect

:23:23. > :23:26.Today, low pressure in the north-west of the UK, bringing in
