Stung Sen Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected wildlife sanctuary in Kampong Thom Province, Cambodia
The Stung Sen Wildlife Sanctuary spans 6,335 hectares near the southeastern tip of Tonlé Sap lake, featuring open deciduous forests and seasonal wetlands.
The sanctuary received its official designation as a protected area in 2001 and achieved recognition as a Ramsar Wetland site in November 2018.
The name Stung Sen derives from Khmer language, combining 'steung' meaning river with 'saen', a Sanskrit-derived term for soldier.
Seasonal flooding patterns transform the landscape between permanent watercourses during dry season and extensive flooded forests during rainy periods.
The sanctuary provides critical breeding grounds for threatened bird species including the sarus crane, giant ibis, and black-necked stork.
