Original text on this topic:
Thouless (1987) received reports of rhino in eight localities in Cambodia. Despite this, the Cardamom Mountains are likely to be the only area in Cambodia remote enough for a population of rhinos to survive into the 21st century. The present survey targeted areas where interview data (Boonratana, 1999; H. Weiler, pers. comm.; also unpublished data) suggested the highest likelihood of finding sign of rhino. No evidence of this species was found so the chances of future surveys being successful are low, but the area is vast and surveys were limited in the area they covered.
