Biodiversity assessment of the REDD community forest project in Oddar Meanchey Cambodia

In this report, the details of field surveys are analysed to provide information on the distribution of birds and mammals in the Oddar Meachney province, Cambodia.

The bird and mammal surveys were carried out in order to:

  • Provide necessary biodiversity baseline data to satisfy the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance’s requirements for validation with regards to biodiversity assessment and monitoring;
  • Identify species and habitats of High Conservation Value for prioritization in future conservation efforts;
  • Design a biodiversity monitoring plan for the REDD Project site for the lifespan of the project (30 years)
