Phnom Aural Wildlife Sanctuary


Phnom Aural Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in central Cambodia, covering. It was established in 1993. It is named after Phnom Aural, the country's tallest peak at 1,810 m. The Aural mountains are part of the much larger Cardamom Mountains.
Immediately west of Phnom Aural Wildlife Sanctuary is Central Cardamom Mountains National Park.
This area is threatened by the exceptional danger of illegal logging.
The IBA supports the conservation of two bird populations that have a limited presence in the endemic bird area between the mountains of Cambodia and Thailand. These are the Chestnut-headed Partridge and the Cambodian Laughingthrush.
