Snoul Wildlife Sanctuary (Khmer: ដែនជម្រកសត្វព្រៃស្នួល) was located in eastern Cambodia on the border with Vietnam. It is classified as part of an Important Bird Area.[2] The sanctuary, which had been suffering from illegal logging and deforestation for years, was dissolved in February 2018 by a royal decree. Chhay Duong Savuth, director of the Kratie province Environment Department, stated as the main reason the habitat destruction and illegal land settlement. However, a lot of the land was also claimed by private companies that received government approved licences for agriculture use.
