Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management for Sustainable Development in North Tonle Sap Region, Cambodia
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management for Sustainable Development in North Tonle Sap Region, Cambodia 2020 SOMALY CHAN Doctoral Dissertation Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management for Sustainable Development in North Tonle Sap Region, Cambodia SOMALY CHAN Supervisor : Professor Dr. Machito Mihara Advisors : Professor Dr. Fumio Watanabe : Professor Dr. Keishiro Itagaki : His Excellency Dr. Sinisa Berjan 20 February 2020 Summary 1. Background and Objectives Cambodia is situated in the region of Southeast Asia and its territory consists of a mixture of low-lying plains, mountains, the Mekong Delta and the Gulf of Thailand. The country has a total land area of 181,035 kilometers squared, a 443-kilometer coastline along the Gulf of Thailand and a population estimated at over 16 million in 2018. The largest area of the country falls within the Mekong River Basin, which is crossed by the Mekong River and its tributaries, including the Tonle Sap River, which joins the Tonle Sap Great Lake. Cambodia’s current record of biodiversity in relation to the inventory lists of all species known is 6,149 species in the major groups of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, plants and invertebrates. Cambodia is predominantly dependent on its rich biodiversity and other natural resources for its socio-economic development and for the population’s food, livelihoods and well-being. As Cambodia emerged from civil war, and during the rapid development process that the country went into thereafter, a great deal of pressure was put on the use and management of natural resources and the ecosystem, in many sensitive areas of high value in terms of biodiversity. -

The Study on Regional Development of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Growth Corridor in The Kingdom of Cambodia L.2.2 Protected Areas (PAs) (1) Present Situation of the PAs in the Study Area Twenty-three areas were designated as protected areas based on the Royal Decree in 1993 and classified into four categories in Cambodia 12. The total area of then designated PAs is 3,327,200 ha and accounts for about 18% of the national land. The locations of these protected areas are shown in Figure L-8. In addition, some of the existing protected areas are designated as UNESCO Men and Biosphere (MAB Reserve) or Ramsar Site13. The central portion of the Cardamom Mountains (1 million ha) has been protected since 2001 and some portions of the Cardamoms are proposed as the World Heritage Site. The MOE has the responsibility for the management of the PAs, but the MAFF and other relevant agencies were also given conservation function by the subsequent laws. The MAFF has set up two gene pool conservation areas, thirteen Fish Sanctuaries and some wildlife reserves. In line with the decentralization policy, some provincial governments have proposed to establish PAs for their management. As of year 2002, Cambodia has 29 protected areas covering about 4.5 million ha, or one-quarter of the country’s land mass14. Source: JICA Study Team Figure L-8 Protected Areas in Cambodia and the Study Area According to the report “A National Biodiversity Prospectus” published by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) and the Ministry of Environment (MOE), the area of Cambodia is divided into seven biodiversity conservation regions based on biological resources, geology, soils, etc. -

Without the crowds of Thailand to the west, enclaves like the deep north and the wild Cardamom Mountains have remained off-the-beaten-track, with visitors now slowly revealing their tribal villages and mysterious Khmer temples. That said, there are of course, some visitor magnets in this corner of Southeast Asia, ranging from the lichen-spotted halls of UNESCO-attested Angkor Wat to the shimmering beaches of the Kep Peninsula. -
