The Cardamom Mountains are a mountain range located in southwestern Cambodia. They stretch approximately 100 kilometers and are known for their rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems. The area is home to various species of plants and animals, some of which are endemic to the region. These mountains are also significant for their natural resources, including forests that provide timber and non-timber products. The Cardamom Mountains are part of the larger Cardamom Mountain Range, which is a critical area for conservation efforts due to threats from deforestation and development.
