Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox Protected area Ang Trapeang Thma Protected Landscape (Шаблон:Lang-km Шаблон:IPA-km) is a Шаблон:Convert protected area in northwestern Cambodia that was first established in 1999[1] and converted to a protected landscape in 2016.[2] The reserve was set aside to protect the rare eastern sarus crane (Grus antigone sharpii).

Reading from the north clockwise, Phnom Srok borders with Banteay Ampil and Chong Kal districts of Oddar Meanchey province to the north. The eastern border of the district is shared with Srei Snam and Kralanh districts of Siem Reap province. To the south the district shares a border with Preah Net Preah District of Banteay Meanchey. The western border of the district joins with Svay Chek and Thma Puok districts also of Banteay Meanchey.[4] The sanctuary can be accessed by road from Sisophon (70 km) or Siem Reap (city) (90 km) via National Highway 6 initially then via smaller unsealed district roads to Ang Trapeang Thma.[5]
