| Biological surveys of the Mekong River between Kratie and Stung Treng towns, northeast Cambodia, 2006-2007 | |
| 2008 Full Book | |
This report describes the results of the fi rst systematic biological surveys of a 130-km section of the Mekong River in northeast Cambodia. Surveys were undertaken over a nine month period between November 2006 and August 2007, in a collaborative initiative between the Fisheries and Forestry Administrations and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Surveys were conducted by a team comprising government personnel and international specialists, and focused on the riverine habitats within the Mekong River channel and some adjacent floodplains, to document vegetation and flora, birds, large mammals, amphibians, reptiles and fish. Findings include the presence of one undescribed taxon, 24 other new records for the Cambodian flora and fauna (see table at end of Summary), intact riverine habitats, and some of the largest breeding populations in the Mekong River Basin or globally for a range of threatened taxa. Ranking criteria and recommendations were developed to identify and conserve taxa of highest management priority within the study area. |
