AB  - The goal of this study was to gain a greater understanding 
  of the characteristics of bird communities during the rainy and dry seasons 
  in lowland dry evergreen forests of the Central Cardamom Protected Forest and 
  the Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area in Cambodia during July 2007 and December 
  2011. The 82 bird species were observed in the Central Cardamom Protected Forest 
  and 72 bird species were observed in the Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area. 
  The number of species and individuals were similar between rainy and dry seasons 
  in both study areas. IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) red 
  list and CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild 
  Fauna and Flora) listed species such as the green peafowl (<I>Pavo muticus</I>), 
  the Oriental pied hornbill (<I>Anthracoceros albirostris</I>), the great hornbill 
  (<I>Buceros bicornis</I>) and the crested serpent eagle (<I>Spilornis cheela</I>) 
  were recorded in this study. The primary threats to bird communities in and 
  around both study areas were related to habitat conversion and poaching for 
  local consumption. Habitat conversion and poaching should be strictly prohibited 
  to conserve bird communities. Moreover, detailed management programs based on 
  scientific research will be helpful for conservation of biodiversity.
