Abstract
The Bengal Florican Houbaropsis bengalensis is a Critically Endangered species of bustard
threatened by habitat loss and hunting. The majority of the world's population is dependent
on grasslands located in and near to the floodplain of the Tonle Sap lake. Protected areas have
been set up in order to safeguard a part of the population, conserve other rare species and
maintain the access of local villages to key livelihood resources such as fisheries, agricultural
land and pasture.
