Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary (Khmer: ដែនជម្រកសត្វព្រៃលំផាត់) is a protected area covering 2,514.68 km² (970.92 sq mi) in eastern Cambodia that was established in 1993.^[1] It is heavily forested and straddles Ratanakiri, Mondulkiri, and Kratie provinces. It is home to a variety of endangered wildlife such as banteng, tiger, gaur, dholes and sun bear, as well as leopards, Eld's deer, sambar deer, muntjacs and wild pigs. In addition, a number of rare birds are present: surveys have confirmed the presence of green peafowl, greater and lesser adjutant storks, sarus cranes, oriental pied hornbills, giant ibises, white-shouldered ibises, milky and wooly-necked storks, and vulture sp. (slender-billed and white-rumped), which are increasingly rare in most of South and Southeast Asia.

A Chinese company is planning to build a dam on the Srepok river, which would flood the surrounding villages and inundate more than a third of the sanctuary.
