Endangered Birds of Cambodia

The forests and floodplains of Cambodia form refuges for many threatened bird species that have been extirpated from much of their former range. These include critically endangered waterbirds like giant ibis and white-shouldered ibis as well as three species of critically endangered vultures.

The critically endangered giant ibis inhabits Cambodia's Eastern Plains Landscape, here together with Eld's deer, lesser adjutants, as well as black- and woolly-necked storks.

The globally threatened lesser adjutant is regularly observed at waterholes throughout Cambodia's Eastern Plains Landscape.

Sarus crane, the tallest flying bird in the world, is suspected to breed in Mondulkiri Protected Forest within Cambodia's Eastern Plains Landscape.

The endangered and very secretive white-winged duck has so far only been camera-trapped once in Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary within Cambodia's Eastern Plains Landscape.
