Recent mammal records from the Oddar Meanchey portion of Kulen-Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary, Northern Cambodia
2012 Cambodian Journal of Natural History: 8-12
Kulen-Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary, covering 4,099 km2 and spanning the provinces of Oddar Meanchey, Siem Reap and Preah Vihear, is Cambodia's largest protected area. The sanctuary was originally designated to protect the kouprey Bos sauveli, currently listed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as Critically Endangered, but this has not been reliably seen since the 1960s (Timmins et al., 2008). Kulen-Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary contains a variety of habitats including lowland evergreen and deciduous dipterocarp forest as well as the second largest swamp in the country. The sanctuary is home to important bird species such as the Vulnerable sarus crane Grus antigone (Handschuh et al., 2010) and the Endangered green peafowl Pavo muticus (Goes, 2009).
