22 Sarus Cranes Spotted at Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary

It was a sight to behold. A team of biodiversity experts from NatureLife Cambodia recently spotted 22 Sarus Cranes at the picturesque Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary (LWS) during a routine monitoring session. The sighting, which included eight young cranes, was spread across seven different locations within the sanctuary.

“This surpasses all previous counts at the Sanctuary, including the previous high of 16 from last season,” NatureLife Cambodia announced in their December 31 news release. For conservationists and nature enthusiasts, this record-breaking moment is a shining beacon of hope—a celebration of biodiversity and a promising way to welcome 2025.

The majestic Sarus Cranes, recognized as symbols of loyal love and fidelity, were observed flying gracefully, calling to one another, foraging, and thriving in their natural habitat. Their choice of Lomphat as a winter haven underscores the sanctuary’s importance as one of the rare breeding and nesting grounds for the Mekong Basin population of this vulnerable species.

Efforts to protect the Sarus Crane have been bolstered by USAID Morodok Baitang, NatureLife Cambodia, the Ministry of Environment, and the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund. Through initiatives like nest monitoring, forest patrols, wildlife-friendly agriculture, and the LWS REDD+ Project, these groups aim to safeguard biodiversity, sustain local livelihoods, and combat climate change by preserving Cambodia’s forests.

Despite this triumph, the Sarus Crane remains listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. The Southeast Asian subspecies, which includes the Mekong Basin population, is in even graver danger, with fewer than 50 nesting pairs recorded last year. Habitat loss and other threats have left their future precarious, urging immediate and collective action.

NatureLife Cambodia’s call to action is heartfelt: “These birds are not just a species; they are a symbol of our natural heritage and commitment to conservation. Share their story with your friends, family, and networks to ensure their survival.”

Lumphat Wildlife Sanctuary, established by Royal Decree in 1993, spans an impressive 250,000 hectares, with 80% in Rattanakiri province and 20% in Mondulkiri province. Known for its rich biodiversity, it is a vital refuge for endangered birds and wildlife.

As the sun sets on 2024, the soaring Sarus Cranes remind us of what is possible when nature and humanity work hand in hand. They are not just birds—they are carriers of hope, flying us into a future where conservation efforts continue to flourish.
