Sun, 13 June 2021
The vulture census conducted by the Ministry of Environment and partner organisations on June 9 recorded 82 vultures in protected areas in the provinces of Preah Vihear, Mondulkiri, Stung Treng and Kratie, according to ministry spokesman Neth Pheaktra.
Pheaktra said on June 12 that the census will be conducted five more times to determine whether vulture numbers are increasing or decreasing.
The results reveal that there are 13 red-headed vultures (Sarcogypscalvus), 42 white-rumped vultures (Gyps bengalensis) and 27 slender-billed vultures (Gyps tenuirostris).
Bird feeding stations at the so-called vulture restaurant recorded 23 vultures in Preah Vihear province, 52 in Stung Treng and seven in Kratie, but no sightings were recorded in Mondulkiri.
