The population of critically endangered vultures in Cambodia is stable with 131 birds recorded in a census last week, Neth Pheaktra, secretary of state at the Ministry of Environment, said on Wednesday.
"According to the results of a vulture census on June 9, a total of 131 vultures were recorded in Cambodia," he said in a news release. "This number is similar to the census results in June 2022, with 134 vultures recorded."
The Southeast Asian country is home to three vulture species, namely red-headed, white-rumped, and slender-billed vultures, all of which are included in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as critically endangered.
Pheaktra said the census last week registered 12 red-headed, 77 white-rumped, and 42 slender-billed vultures.
