Cambodia's national bird hanging on
Re: Cambodia's national bird hanging on
Isn't an endangered vulture worthy of its own thread?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Giant Ibis Preservation on Positive Trend

The ministry has quoted a confirmation from BirdLife International's updated note on this animal preservation in Lomphat wildlife sanctuary, a preservation area in Rattanakiri province.
"During the 2019 Giant Ibis breeding season, from June to October 2019, 10 Giant Ibis nests were found in Lomphat wildlife sanctuary - Rattanakiri. Eight nests were successful with eleven chicks, one nest is incubating and the other failed due to human disturbance," it said.
Giant Ibis is critically endangered with a declining population as a result of habitat loss, hunting, disturbance and lowland deforestation.
Nowadays, isolated breeding populations only persist in Cambodia, including Rattanakiri, Preah Vihear and Mondulkiri provinces where, with a bit of luck, Giant Ibis can be encountered at the dry forest’s many watering holes within the Eastern Plains Landscape.
Giant Ibis has been declared Cambodia's national bird, and conservation efforts are crucial to its protection.

Ten nests of White-shouldered Ibis, considered as the most endangered animal, have been found at the northeastern Rattanakiri province.
The team of BirdLife International Cambodia Programme, according to its recent press release, spotted the nests of the rare bird and six of them carry 12 already hatched young Ibises.
Half of identified nests with newborn ibises, according to the source, are located outside Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary.
Comparing to the last five years, the number of the found ibis nests has dropped due to less forest land, poaching and other disruptions.
The trend indicates the need for more joint efforts to protect Cambodia’s ibises.

8 Giant Ibis Nests Found
AKP Phnom Penh, August 15, 2020 --
Eight Giant Ibis nests have been found in the middle of the nesting season this year, running from May through to October, according to a press release of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Cambodia (WCS Cambodia).
The GPL/WCS Bird Nest Protection Team estimated that the number of nests will increase between now and October, it added.
From 2004 until 2020, it pointed out, 413 Giant Ibis nests and 649 fledglings have been protected in the Northern Plains of Cambodia which covers Chheb Wildlife Sanctuary, Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary, Prey Preah Roka Wildlife Sanctuary and Phnom Tbeng Natural Heritage Park. Last year, 22 nests were found and 35 eggs hatched and were well protected by team.
Since 2002, WCS in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment has been implementing the Bird Nest Protection Programme—a payment scheme designed to combat the threat of egg and chick collection—under which local people living in two protected areas in the Northern Plains of Cambodia are offered conditional payments if they successfully locate, monitor and protect nests until fledging, said the same source.
From 2002 until 2016, it underlined, 3,813 nests and 6,806 fledglings have been safeguarded throughout the Northern plains landscape.
The Northern Plains is home to nearly 300 bird species, including five Critically Endangered species: Giant Ibis (Cambodia’s National Bird), White-shouldered Ibis, and White-rumped, Slender-billed and Red-headed Vultures. It is also vital for the survival of threatened waterbirds such as White-winged Duck, Masked Finfoot, and Sarus Crane.
