Giant Ibis and White-shouldered ibis are the most threatened of South-East Asia’s water birds with less than 500 nature Giant Ibis and white-shouldered ibis remain in the wild today (Tordoff et al., 2005). 263 of Giant Ibis and 212 white-shouldered ibis have been observed regularly at watering holes in the Dry Forests of Lumpat Wildlife Sanctuary (LWS) Rattanakiri province, where they probably breed (Birdlif field report, 2013). Today, the two species are identified as Critically Endangered in Cambodia with their drastically declining numbers. Likely causes for such decline include climate change and lack of effective monitoring and measures for their habitat conservation, as well as logging of lowland forests and drainage of wetlands for agriculture. This project therefore aims to successfully save and protect Indigenous Ourey Community Protected Area (OCPA) located within Lumpat Wildlife Sanctuary. Bird conservation tool is a field in the science of conservation biology related to threatened birds. The loss of forests, plains and other natural systems into agriculture, mines, the draining of swamps and other wetlands, and logging reduce potential habitat for many species.

The major outcomes will be

A) a better understanding of their habitats, major threats and opportunity for conservation,

B) deployment of effective conservation measures to mitigate identified threats.

The other specific outputs are:

(1) Research design, questionnaires and method benefited to all people, on how to best promote evidence-based bird conservation will be benefited to government and academic people,

(2) research report will be basic evidence and important document valuably to historical research and governmental policy development,

(3) will produce another technique for bird conservation writing down in the conduct code,

(4) training about 250 local communities of indigenous OCPA in LWS wetland ecology for further conservation and for either this particular species and for the other as well,

(5) bring the ideas to governmental agents and policy makers to consider unique of conservation code that can conserve birds and animal ecology more healthy,

(6) empower to local people the basic privilege to take action for their own conservation of natural resources in various ecologies,

(7) conservation of Giant Ibis and White-shouldered ibis will automatically conserve the whole ecological aquatic plants and animals in the LWS wetland because it requires keeping water, land and forest constantly,

(8) promoting evidence-base bird conservation.
