We’re walking through the fields of the Bunong indigenous people in Cambodia’s far eastern highlands. The sky is a cloudless electric blue, the sun hot and unforgiving, the earth on the trail beneath our feet, a striking rusty red. We follow our Cambodian guide, Torn, to the edge of a deep river canyon. Unlike the agricultural landscape surrounding us, the valley is still cloaked in its original native vegetation, a blanket of lush green tropical forest. Down there, in the valley, we have an appointment with a couple of very special local residents.
