Snoul Wildlife Sanctuary
Snoul Wildlife Sanctuary was located in eastern Cambodia on the border with Vietnam. It is classified as part of an Important Bird Area. The sanctuary, which had been suffering from illegal logging and deforestation for years, was dissolved in February 2018 by a royal decree. Chhay Duong Savuth, director of the Kratie province Environment Department, stated as the main reason the habitat destruction and illegal land settlement. However, a lot of the land was also claimed by private companies that received government approved licences for agriculture use.External
