Cambodian Bird News

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

I truly hope not. To me, hunting is okay if it's legal. But hunting protected animals and not on protected land is deplorrible. I sure hope he paid a stiff fine although I do not see that mentioned. Fining these people is what truly seems to change them in my experience.
Still here, in country...

Hunting is a vital part of wildlife management. It’s the duty of every hunter to play that part and preserve nature for the generations beyond.

But this isn’t management. It’s outright destruction.

Phnom Penh: At 12:29 pm on 19 June 2020, the Cambodian Ministry of Environment released photos of rare Sarus cranes in Cambodia; a bird species that is endangered and carefully protected from extinction. Sarus Crane prefer to live and nest eggs on wetland grasslands and enjoy eating mussels.
Image
The wet season is also the season for their reproduction, and special care must be taken to allow these distinctive red-headed birds to mate and nest in peace, in order to reproduce.
Image
The adult crane is 176cm tall and weighs over 6kg.

Did a census in Takeo a few years ago and counted 480 Sarus Cranes. That won’t happen again...

@hanno Can you tell us more about that census ? I think I'm not the only one here interested in Cambodia's rare species and the reasons why they are dying out. Habitat loss and hunting are the logical suspects I suppose.

Every year, the Sarus Cranes are counted on the same day across Cambodia to get a handle on how many there are. This is done when they are on their wintering grounds as they are pretty hard to find when breeding. The two areas with the most cranes are Takeo and Ang Traepang Thmor. The biggest threat is habitat loss, both on the breeding and wintering grounds.
