“The Cardamom Mountains or Kravanh Mountains, is a mountain range in the south west of Cambodia and Eastern Thailand. The mountain range extends along a southeast-northwest axis from Chanthaburi in Thailand, and Koh Kong in Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand, to the Veal Veang, and extends to the southeast by the Damrei Mountains.”

“Being one of the largest and still mostly unexplored forests in Southeast Asia, it is separated from other rainforests in the region by the large Khorat Plateau to the north. For these reasons, the ecoregion is home to several endemic species and is a refuge for species who has been decimated or are endangered elsewhere.”

“The Cardamom Mountains rain forests ecoregion spans a total of 44,288.8 km2 of relatively unexplored rain forest. The ecoregion is bounded by the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest, and the Indochina mangroves ecoregion fringes its shores. The Central Indochina dry forests lie to the east and north, in the rain shadow of the mountains. The Chao Phraya lowland moist deciduous forests lie to the northwest.”
