Cambodia recorded 180 globally vulnerable and endagered sarus cranes in its latest census, a significant increase from 156 birds last year, Neth Pheaktra, secretary of state for the Ministry of Environment, said on Monday.
Naturelife Cambodia, a Cambodian conservation organisation, has reported a significant increase in sarus crane (Antigone antigone) numbers during the non-breeding season at Lumphat Wildlife Sanctuary for 2022-2023.
Birdlife International Cambodia, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, is preparing to observe the Kingdom’s sixth “Crane Day” to promote public awareness and encourage local communities and stakeholders to participate in the conservation of the dwindling sarus crane population.
Accoording to NatureLife Cambodia, following the end of the “Srov Met Kriel” rice harvest project for 2022, a total of 49 households opted to sell 75 tonnes of rice, while 49 others decided to keep it for consumption.
