Checklist of extant species recorded in Phnom Tbaeng Natural Heritage Park, Cambodia

Phnom Tbaeng Natural Heritage Park (PTNHP) was established in 2016 as protected area, with a total size of 25,269 hectares, under the management of the Ministry of Environment (MoE). PTNHP has a general elevation of about 400 meters and forms a key component of the upper watershed of the Stung Sen River, a tributary of the Tonle Sap Lake. This protected area contains some of the last remaining evergreen and semi-evergreen forest habitats in northern Cambodia and is of high importance for wildlife conservation and provision of ecosystem services. The PTNHP forests also ensure a supply of freshwater to surrounding communities and prevent soil erosion from the area’s steep slopes. The site is supported by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Cambodia program.

Evergreen, semi-evergreen forest, dry deciduous dipterocarp forest, and grassland habitats.
