Occurrence records extracted from selected WCS Cambodia camera trap survey data across four landscapes: the Eastern Plains, the Northern Plains, the Tonle Sap Flooded Forests, and coastal Koh Kong. Temporal coverage from 2001 to 2018, with a total of 101 species recorded. Images not currently published but available on request. Latitudes and longitudes have been generalized to avoid poaching risks, and a time lag of 18 months on publication has been used, and will continue to be used for future versions.Purpose
Data published as part of a GBIF BIFA data mobilization grant. This data represents the first publication of occurrence data through GBIF of any Cambodian organisation. We call for other Cambodian organizations to share existing and future data in order to inform and improve management of Cambodia's protected areas and natural resources.Sampling Description

Geographic Coverages
WCS-supported protected areas within four major Cambodian landscapes: Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly Seima Protection Forest, formerly Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area) in the Eastern Plains, Chhep Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly Preah Vihear Protected Forest) and Prey Preah Roka Wildlife Sanctuary in the Northern Plains, Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary Biosphere Reserve in the Tonle Sap Flooded Forest, and coastal Koh Kong.
Locations have been generalized to two decimal places to avoid poaching risks.
Precise latitude and longitude are available for most records. For records with no latitude and longitude, locality data are recorded in this dataset - mostly to the level of a protected area.
