		A flock of between 20 and 30 white-shouldered ibis, a critically endangered species with only 250 existing in the wild, was found in a protected wetland in Stung Treng province, said ecological adviser Kong Kimsreng of the Mekong Wetland Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use project.
		The flock was first found during a survey last November in the province, 150 miles northeast of Phnom Penh.
		The flock did not appear to have fewer birds in the second survey, but he warned that local practices pose a risk to its survival.

		The aims of this project are to expand the limited database concerning White-shouldered Ibis, by studying detailed information of its ecobiology and ethnoecology, and to set up a network for local participative-monitoring.
		The participative monitoring network will be built through a series of discussions with local stakeholders, including the inhabitants surrounding its habitat, and training for local young scientists, as well as a campaign for the local youth through school visits to 6 schools around White-shouldered Ibis habitat.
		Mapping any relationship (especially cultural) between the species and the local community can be used as an entry point for gaining local support.

	Record counts of threatened ibis
		The White-shouldered Ibis Pseudibis davisoni is a large ibis which inhabits lakes, pools, marshes and slow-flowing watercourses in open lowland dipterocarp forest, often subject to seasonal flooding.
		A priority area within the region is Western Siem Pang IBA, a mosaic of open deciduous forest and small seasonal wetlands (trapeangs), together with semi-evergreen and mixed deciduous riverine forest along the Sekong River, and semi-evergreen forest on hills near the international border with Laos.
		Ongoing work in partnership with local communities aims to educate about the status of these bird populations, ensure their protection from persecution, and establish activities to mitigate further population declines.

	WORLDTWITCH - Cambodia Birding by Frank Rheindt
		White-shouldered Ibis bred not far from the village, and the ranger's wife was able to show me two in the vicinity of their nest in broad daylight just minutes after my arrival.
		Actually, on the second day, after quite a few ibis sightings, it took me some effort to let the park guard know that I was now more interested in finding some of the other goodies rather than just hang around waterholes.
		The local birds (as well as those I had seen in Preah Vihear) show a distinct white patch on the upper wing as well as the underwing and appeared noticeably smaller than the ordinary South-east Asian feddeni subspecies.

		The White-shouldered Ibis has been listed as an endangered species due to its small and declining population in East Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo.
		The scientific research will involve assessing the distribution, population size and the habitat quality of the White-shouldered Ibis in the wetland area of East Kalimantan.
		Boat observation surveys down the Mahakan River and interviews with local people will help identify the local distribution of the species and the affect human activity is having on the bird.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Cambodia
		At 5:05PM, we heard the characteristic honking call as four White-shouldered Ibis flew out of the distant forest towards us, banked away, and landed on a dead tree, soon to be joined by two others.
		Finally, at 5:30PM, we had great luck: two Giant Ibis flushed from a trapeang onto a dead tree, and perched in a spot where we could view them through my scope but where we were hidden by some trees.
		The WCS is to be commended for their efforts to not only preserve the birds and habitat of this region but also for improving the lives of its residents.

		In recent years a number of hugely exciting discoveries have been made, including a population of the near-mythical Giant Ibis, a new species—the Mekong Wagtail, and a breeding population of the rapidly declining eastern race of Sarus Crane.
		Several other highly threatened species can be seen in the northern plains of Cambodia; for example, a breeding population of White-shouldered Ibis has been found in the northern province of Preah Vihear along with White-winged Duck, Green Peafowl, White-rumped Falcon, and White-rumped and Slender-billed vultures.
		A number of other species that we usually consider ourselves lucky to see one or two of in neighboring countries were seen in abundance, such as Rufous-winged Buzzard, Black-headed Woodpecker, and Comb Duck.

		Following a troubled and turbulent recent history, Cambodia is once again stable and many tourists now flock here to see the amazing temples of Angkor Wat, an incomparable sight that we will have ample time to appreciate on this tour.
		Fortunately, conservation organisations reached the country in time to help save the unique diversity of birds and mammals that make Cambodia their home and made several important discoveries, in particular a good population of the stately Giant Ibis survives and a new species, the Mekong Wagtail was recently described.
		The landscape of this province is dominated by open, dry savannah interspersed with extensive tracts of deciduous forest along the waterways.

		The ibis is highly endangered and survival is doubtful.
		While the ibis was the rarest and most exciting bird of the trip, it was the pheasants that stole the show.
		We never did see the former, a spectacular but pathologically shy creature, but over several days did manage, with a lot of effort, several sightings of the latter even if most were brief and we never did all manage to claim it.

		We were of course up before dawn, and having heard Giant Ibis in the half-light, we set off with our local guide.
		Sneaking up on a small secluded tropeng, I was lucky enough to see a Giant Ibis through a small gap in the trees and soon the pair flew up in front of us and landed some way off in a tall tree in which they remained concealed!
		This time we had found it before being noticed and we were able to scope it as it fed a couple of hundred metres away.

		I was up the Mahakam River, Kalimantan, Indonesia in April 2000, and saw a group of three white-shouldered ibis on the shore a little way past Long Iram, and another two perching in a tree further along.
		I managed to get a few pretty poor photos, but good enough to see the bare skin on head & neck.

		WCS has set up a system to allow birders to see the ibis, including transportation to the village and lodging and food in the village.
		The two days there cost me almost $85 which is pretty steep, but includes the $30 “village fee” for seeing the ibis, which goes directly to the village if they don’t hunt any ibis during the year.
		Other highlights included Pale-capped Pigeon and Black-headed Woodpecker (both at the bamboo-lined pool near the farthest away point of the Giant Ibis loop, an area that is also good for Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon, which I missed) and Alexandrine Parakeet.
