Title
A Wildlife Survey of Southern Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia
Author(s)
Joe Walston, Pete Davidson, Men Soriyun
Abstract
Early expeditions to Cambodia established the presence of large populations of mammal and bird species (Osgood 1932, Delacour and Jabouille 1940, Wharton 1957, Thomas 1964, Pfeffer 1969) which are now considered to be of global significance to conservation (IUCN 1996). However, for 30 years following the la st of these surveys, regional and civil conflict, foreign occupation and international isolation prevented any efforts to systematically assess the extent or size of these populations. During these decades many of the same bird and mammal species underwent severe and rapid declines regionally, consequently raising the potential importance of any populations remaining within Cambodia. However, wildlife markets, anecdotal reports and speculation have often been the only major sources of information for published literature (e.g. Eudey 1987, Santiapillai and Jackson 1990, Nowell and Jackson 1996) and the status of these populations remained a subject for speculation up until the mid-1990s.
