90% percent of Cambodia’s 12.8 million people live and derive income from the floodplain lowland in the centre and South of Cambodia, which occupies less than 30% of the country. Most protected areas are relatively isolated and located in areas of low population density. The significant exceptions are the protected areas on the western border of the country in provinces with high populations densities largely due to recent immigration and the protected areas within Siem Reap Province, including parts of the Tonle Sap Multiple Use Area.
