Evidence (2024-09-27): The landmass is bisected by the Mekong River, which at 486 km (302 mi) is the longest river in Cambodia. After extensive rapids, turbulent sections and cataracts in Laos, the river enters the country at Stung Treng province, is predominantly calm and navigable during the entire year as it widens considerably in the lowlands. The Mekong's waters disperse into the surrounding wetlands of central Cambodia and strongly affect the seasonal nature of the Tonlé Sap lake.[7][8] [...] To the south-west of the Southern mountain ranges extends a narrow coastal plain that contains the Kampong Saom Bay area and the Sihanoukville peninsula, facing the Gulf of Thailand.

Evidence (2016-12-15): In January 1965, however, Cambodia in a note to South Vietnam advanced claims to several areas of South Vietnam that she had claimed historically but that had been ceded to Vietnam through various French decrees. These in- cluded: (1) part of the Cambodian province of Stung Treng, which was incor- porated into Darlac Province of Armem in 1899, (2) four districts (cantons) [...] The first definition of the boundary was contained in the 1893 treaty between France and the Kingdom of Siam, by which France forced expanding Siam to give up all teriltbry east of the Mekong River. As a result of this treaty, the former Canbodian province of Stung Treng (part of which now com- prises the Cambodian provinces of Stung Treng and Ratanakiri) became part of [...] Cambodian boundary at the Col de Fresh Chambot.

Evidence (2010-01-01): **please note this is an internal update only. It is not published on panda.org and is hidden from other websites ***WWF has secured 1.7 million Euros over 4 years for a new project aimed at protecting biodiversity, sustainable natural resource use, and ecological functions in three of the most important wetland sites on the lower Mekong – the 50-km Siphandone in southern Lao PDR, the 40-km Ramsar Site between Stung Treng, Cambodia and the Lao PDR border, and the 56-km Central Section between Kratie and Stung Treng, Cambodia. Together these areas contain nearly 150 km of the most intact, biodiverse, and ecologically robust wetlands on the lower Mekong. [...] Key project partners include: Ministry of Agriculture, Forests, and Fisheries (MAFF), Ministry of Environment (MOE), Department of Livestock and Fisheries in Laos (DLF), provincial authorities in Kratie, Stung Treng, and Champassak provinces, and local NGOs. [...] A growing population and increasing development has led to the construction of roads, dams, dikes, and other infrastructure that often disrupts ecological processes and leads to unsustainable exploitation of wetland and forest resources. Some infrastructure development is needed and desirable, but this development should be planned and carefully sited to minimize environmental impacts. The biggest potential threat to the project area comes from proposed hydropower projects at Don Sahong, near the Lao PDR - Cambodia border, and at Stung Treng and Sambor in Cambodia.
Claim: Stung Treng Province is a territory of Laos (Stung Treng Province, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2010-06-09): I have been interacting closely with ethnic Lao people living on both sides of the border since the early 1990s when I lived in Hang Khone Village along the border between Champasak Province and Stung Treng Provinces, and since then I have also travelled to many parts of the province doing academic and NGO research on multiple occasions, more than it is possible to remember. Therefore, this research is, in many ways, a product of many years of low-intensity research. Yet, in some villages, especially in more remote areas, it is still common to hear ethnic Lao elders claim that Stung Treng (including Ratanakiri Province) was once part of Laos. However, the vast majority of the ethnic Lao there, even those who continue to value their Lao heritage, seem reconciled to their place as Cambodian citizens, and few express any explicit desire for any part of northeastern Cambodia to be reattached to Laos, or to even gain ethnic-based autonomy within Cambodia. However, other views do exist, even if they are not openly expressed.

Evidence (2018-07-26): Some 25,000 Cambodians raced to find higher ground after floodwaters spread to their province from a failed hydroelectric dam in neighboring Laos, according to state media in Cambodia. In Laos, the government says flooding has killed at least 27 people and destroyed the homes of more than 3,000 residents. Cambodia's Sekong River hit a water level of nearly 12 meters (almost 40 feet) on Thursday — a height that left 17 villages flooded and forced the local government to rush to find shelter for roughly half the population of the Siem Pang district in Stung Treng province, state news agency AKP reports. [...] The flooding could also threaten a nearly 900-foot bridge that was recently completed in Stung Treng, the news agency says.

Evidence (2022-12-30): The study was conducted in July 2018 and from June to July 2019 at Siem Pang village in the Cambodian Siem Pang District of Stung Treng Province (14°20’N, 106°38’E) along the Cambodia-Laos border, and also Loum village in Thai Pak Lay Town of Sainyabuli Province (19°39’N, 101°82’E) along the Thailand-Laos border, and Pangkhom village in Lao Yot Ou District of Phongsaly Province (22°12’N, 101°79’E) along China-Laos border, respectively (Fig. 1). The sentinel sites for mosquito collection are 63.5, 689.7 and 398.6 m above sea level respectively, close to forested hillsides and adjacent to rice farming wetlands. Ten ethnic minorities with a total population of 25 348 in 2018 reside at Siem Pang village in the Siem Pang District. There are 666 local residents (Dai Ethnic Group, Flatland region) in 325 households in Loum village of Yot Ou District, and 1 210 local residents (Laotian Ethnic Group, Semi-mountainous area) in 127 households in Pangkhom village of Pak Lay Town, respectively, in 2019.
Claim: Stung Treng Province is a territory of Laos (Stung Treng Province, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2010-09-20): In this context, Stung Treng Province in northeastern Cambodia can be thought of as liminal region. It is often regarded as ‘Lao’ in terms of history and culture; Lao are perhaps the largest ethnic group and the area is part of a former Lao kingdom ceded by the French to Cambodia in 1904. Yet, the post-independence Cambodian and Lao states have been making the border into a physical and social reality through administrative, developmental and political interventions [Figure 3]. The border was also clearly marked by recent wars. The Lao government has been a close political ally of the Vietnamese since the socialist revolution in 1975. Because of this, Laos offered safe haven for Khmer citizens from the stridently anti-Vietnamese Khmer Rouge. Many people from Stung Treng Province – perhaps half the population – fled to southern Laos during the 1970s, some settling permanently there and others returning to Cambodia after the Vietnamese invasion in 1979 that forced out the Khmer Rouge.

Evidence (2022-04-01): These isolated areas are also home to indigenous and minority communities that may not speak Khmer or Lao. Here, many families practice traditional forms of healing and are not affiliated with national health providers as the closest clinics can be hours away. In these settings, malaria workers must go the extra mile to ensure that communities understand malaria prevention and facilitate elimination efforts.
