The Mekong Flooded Forest's Sambo Wildlife Sanctuary in Kratie province is the country's second-most significant location for white-shouldered ibis.

The results of the 2021 population census of white-shouldered Ibis in Cambodia, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), show that Sambo Wildlife Sanctuary of the Mekong Flooded Forest is the Kingdom's second most important site for conserving this critically endangered bird, after Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary.

 

The countrywide study found 252 birds in Sambo, as well as a record of 16 roosting locations, while also stating that Cambodia's entire population is estimated to be 754 people.

 

The white-shouldered Ibis has also been seen in Kulen Promtep, Lomphat, and Phnom Prich in the Eastern Plains environment, according to the report.

 

According to the same source, the national census was carried out by a consortium of the Ministry of Environment, NatureLife/BirdLife in Cambodia (BirdLife International Cambodia Program), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS Cambodia), Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB), and Rising Phoenix.
