Abstract

Occurrence records extracted from selected WCS Cambodia camera trap survey data across four landscapes: the Eastern Plains, the Northern Plains, the Tonle Sap Flooded Forests, and coastal Koh Kong. Temporal coverage from 2001 to 2018, with a total of 101 species recorded. Images not currently published but available on request.

Latitudes and longitudes have been generalized to avoid poaching risks, and a time lag of 18 months on publication has been used, and will continue to be used for future versions.

General description

Purpose: Data published as part of a GBIF BIFA data mobilization grant. This data represents the first publication of occurrence data through GBIF of any Cambodian organisation. We call for other Cambodian organizations to share existing and future data in order to inform and improve management of Cambodia's protected areas and natural resources.
Additional information: Project funded and supported by GBIF BIFA 3, BIFA3_037.

Project contact affiliations are given for the date of contribution of data or processing to the dataset, not at date of publication.

Study area descriptions/descriptor: WCS-supported protected areas within four major Cambodian landscapes: Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly Seima Protection Forest, formerly Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area) in the Eastern Plains, Chhep Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly Preah Vihear Protected Forest) and Prey Preah Roka Wildlife Sanctuary in the Northern Plains, Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary Biosphere Reserve in the Tonle Sap Flooded Forest, and coastal Koh Kong.
Design description: Study design varied by project. Includes random and targeted placement of camera traps. No baited camera traps were used in any project.

Spatial coverage

General spatial coverage: WCS-supported protected areas within four major Cambodian landscapes: Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly Seima Protection Forest, formerly Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area) in the Eastern Plains, Chhep Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly Preah Vihear Protected Forest) and Prey Preah Roka Wildlife Sanctuary in the Northern Plains, Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary Biosphere Reserve in the Tonle Sap Flooded Forest, and coastal Koh Kong.

Locations have been generalized to two decimal places to avoid poaching risks.

Precise latitude and longitude are available for most records. For records with no latitude and longitude, locality data are recorded in this dataset - mostly to the level of a protected area.
Coordinates: 10°21'28.8''N and 14°42'39.6''N Latitude; 102°13'1.2''E and 107°39'57.6''E Longitude 

Temporal coverage: 2001 - December 31, 2018
