AKP Phnom Penh, February 03, 2021 --

The waterbird census in Boeung Prek Lapov and Anlong Pring Protected Landscape have been concluded by BirdLife International Cambodia Programme. 

"In January, our team conducted the waterbirds census at these two important wetlands. 65 species were recorded in Boeung Prek Lapov and 45 species were recorded in Anlong Pring," it said.

According to BirdLife International Cambodia Programme's report, no black face spoonbill was recorded (2012 was the last recorded of this species in Boeung Prek Lapov). Climate change contributes to water run out from this landscape quickly. Human activities create more disturbance.
