Abstract
Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area (SBCA) covers 298,250 hectares in Mondulkiri Province in eastern Cambodia (Figure 1). It has globally outstanding biodiversity values by any measure. For example, it contains key landscapes from two of WWF’s Global 200 Ecoregions (evergreen forests of the Greater Annamite mountain range and deciduous forests of the Lower Mekong Dry Forest Ecoregion). It also lies within the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, two major Important Bird Areas as identified by BirdLife International, is part of a Priority 1 Tiger Conservation Landscape and overlaps several ‘Last of the Wild’ landscapes as assessed by WCS.
