Lomphat Conservation Project Continuation of wildlife conservation and park protection practices in Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia
2005  Full Book

The Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary (LWS) is one of the richest wildlife habitats in Cambodia and appears to be one of the last viable habitats for tigers in the Kingdom. The Lomphat project, launched in June 2003, is training and equipping rangers and field staff to ensure that wildlife in LWS is protected over the long term. The rangers patrol the sanctuary, monitor wildlife with camera traps and other techniques, and work with communities to build local support for the sanctuary and for anti-poaching efforts. The program has significantly decreased poaching in the LWS and has documented tigers and rare species in the sanctuary. This report summarizes the project activities and successes over the last year.
