Ang Trapeang Thma Protected Landscape (Khmer: អាងត្រពាំងថ្ម [ʔaːŋ trɑːpeaŋ tʰmɑː]) is a 126.50 km2 (48.84 sq mi) protected area in northwestern Cambodia that was first established in 1999[1] and converted to a protected landscape in 2016.[2] The reserve was set aside to protect the rare eastern sarus crane (Grus antigone sharpii). Prior to the discovery of the crane at Trapeang Thma, there were thought to be fewer than 1,000 of the birds left alive in the world.[3]
