Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary (Khmer: ដែនជម្រកសត្វព្រៃតាតៃ) is a protected area in southwest Cambodia created in 2016, covering 144,275 ha (356,510 acres).^[1] Located in the Cardamom Mountains,^[2] the area is threatened by sand dredging and processing,^[3] by the filling-in of water bodies,^[4] and by land-grabbing.^[5] In 2021, 26,103 ha (64,500 acres) were cut from the wildlife sanctuary in a PADDD event. Local communities have been displaced into the protected area from nearby areas following the creation of the 246-megawatt Stung Tatai hydropower dam by China National Machinery Industry Corporation in 2014.^[6]
