| New records of threatened mammals in Southwest Cambodia | |

During a camera trap study of Siamese crocodiles (_Crocodylus siamensis_) by the Cambodian Crocodile Conservation Programme (CCCP) in 2010, photographs were taken of a Vulnerable (CITES Appendix I) marbled cat (_Pardofelis marmorata_) and an Endangered (CITES Appendix II) Indochinese lutung (_Trachypithecus germaini_). The study was conducted in Dong Peng Commune, Sre Ambel District, Koh Kong Province. Although there have been records of both species in the nearby Central Cardamoms Protected Forest, these are the fi rst records in this locality. The CCCP fi rst became active in Dong Peng commune in 2007, after our surveys revealed a significant population of Critically Endangered Siamese crocodiles in the Kampong Ta Chey River watershed. Since then, the CCCP has been implementing a community-based conservation project with several local villages, as well as annual transect surveys to monitor the status of the crocodile population (currently estimated to contain at least 15 adults). The study area is a gently inclined valley with lowland dry evergreen to submontane semievergreen forest, situated in state forest between the Central Cardamom Protected Forest, Phnom Aural Wildlife Sanctuary and Kirirom National Park. |
