As of December 2023, eight nests of the grey-headed fish eagle (Icthyophaga ichthyaetus) have been found in the Ramsa Stung Sen and Ramsa Boeung Tonle Chhmar areas.
According to Nature Life Cambodia, of the eight nests discovered, six are new and two are old.
The grey-headed fish eagle is classified as an endangered species in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as a result of habitat loss, a lack of food sources, and human-caused disturbance.
The Ramsa Stung Sen and Ramsa Boeung Tonle Chhmar areas in the Tonle Sap River are playing a vital role in supporting the survival of those birds.
The grey-headed fish eagle is a large bird with a longer neck and a grey head with a dark brown upper body, black tail and wings, and a dark red chess.
The birds are also found along ponds, plains, and big rivers, and their breeding season begins from November to March.
