Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary

Koh Kong Province, Cambodia

Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary (Khmer) is a protected area in southwest Cambodia created in 2016, covering 144,275 ha (356, 510 acres). Located in the Cardamom Mountains, the area is threatened by sand dredging and processing, by the filling-in of water bodies, and by land-grabbing. In 2021, 26,103 ha (64, 500 acres) were cut from the wildlife sanctuary in a PADDD event. Local communities have been displaced into the protected area from nearby areas following the creation of the 246-megawatt Stung Tatai hydropower dam by China National Machinery Industry Corporation in 2014. Part of the protected area forms part of the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project (SCRP).
