New Zoning Plan for Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary in Mondulkiri
Srepok management zones designated

The government has assigned designated management zones in Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary in Mondulkiri province to make the protected forest more manageable in the wake of a forest ranger being shot.
Prime Minister HE on Friday signed a sub-decree designating 372,971 hectares of the forest into four management zones. These zones include core zones, conservation zones, sustainable-use zones and community zones. The move was praised by environmentalists, including WWF Cambodia.
“This sub-decree has a purpose to ensure effective management of the Srepok wildlife sanctuary and promote the participation of local communities,” Mr HE said in the sub-decree. “It will also promote the protection and conservation of natural resources, wildlife and the ecological system.”
The move follows the shooting of Srepok park ranger Cheng Chanty last week during an encounter with suspected poachers. Mr Chanty is still recovering in hospital.*
