Abstract
Cambodia’s forests are vital components of the highly
threatened Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot (Mitt ermeier
et al., 2004). They contain species found nowhere
else on earth (Daltry, 2008), support important populations
of some of the planet’s most threatened large mammals and birds (Clements et al., 2012; Gray et al., 2012, 2014) and provide resources vital to the livelihoods of millions of rural Cambodians (Hansen & Top, 2006; Jiao et al., 2015). Prior to changes within the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) in early 2016, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) were both responsible for forest management.
