Abstract
In 2005 the giant ibis was designated by Royal Decree as the national bird of Cambodia. The deciduous dipterocarp forests of the northern plains landscape support a globally significant population of this Critically Endangered species. To strengthen and encourage local conservation, the Bird Nest Protection Program was initiated in 2002 by government partners, with financial support from Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), to locate, monitor and protect nesting sites. Under the programme, local people and contracted community rangers locate nests within both Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary and Preah Vihear Protected Forest
