Frequently asked questions

How many threatened species are in Cambodia?
Cambodia has 317 threatened species recorded on SpeciesRadar — 54 of those are Critically Endangered, facing an extremely high risk of extinction. The figures combine IUCN Red List data with national red list assessments where available.
How many Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable species does Cambodia have?
Of the 317 threatened species in Cambodia, 54 are Critically Endangered, 116 are Endangered, and 147 are Vulnerable. Together these three IUCN Red List categories make up the "threatened" total.
What is the most endangered species in Cambodia?
Among the 54 Critically Endangered species in Cambodia, Agarwood (Aquilaria crassna) is one of the most at-risk — featured prominently on the country dashboard. The full list of Critically Endangered species is filterable on the Species tab.
What protected areas exist in Cambodia?
SpeciesRadar does not yet catalogue protected areas for Cambodia. Where available, protected-area data is drawn from the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and national designations.
Which animal and plant groups are most threatened in Cambodia?
The most affected groups in Cambodia, by number of threatened species, are plants (122), fishes (63), and mammals (43). The full taxonomic breakdown is shown on the country dashboard.
What are the biggest threats to wildlife in Cambodia?
The leading threats to threatened species in Cambodia are logging & wood harvesting, annual & perennial non-timber crops, fishing & harvesting aquatic resources, and housing & urban areas. Each threat is mapped to the species it affects in the country's threat breakdown.
How many threatened species are found only in Cambodia?
Cambodia has 17 threatened species that are endemic — found nowhere else on Earth. Because their entire global population depends on this one country, they are especially vulnerable to local habitat loss.
How many of Cambodia's threatened species have declining populations?
226 of Cambodia's threatened species have populations that are still declining. Reversing these trends is the central focus of the conservation work the country dashboard tracks.
How does Cambodia compare to other countries for threatened species?
Cambodia ranks #96 of 250 countries by number of threatened species, and accounts for roughly 0.57% of all threatened species tracked worldwide. Threat is geographically concentrated, so a high rank reflects both rich biodiversity and intense pressure on it.
Where does the data for Cambodia come from, and can I download it?
SpeciesRadar draws on the IUCN Red List, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the World Database on Protected Areas, and national red lists. Every table on the Cambodia profile — species, national red list, and protected areas — can be downloaded as a CSV spreadsheet or a branded PDF report.
