1/ Sad to confirm that I was denied re-entry to #Cambodia on Jan. 5 and, a month later, it's no clearer as to whether I can return, but it does seem to be retaliation for my journalistic work...

Cambodian journalist who helped Mongabay expose a land grab perpetrated by a powerful mining company has now been accused of illegally clearing forest and placed under court surveillance. The very thing Ouk Mao reported on is what he's being charged with.

Scoop for @AP: The EU & UN planned to launch a regional anti-trafficking program at the hotel of Cambodian tycoon Ly Yong Phat, who owns at least one property tied to human trafficking/online scams.
After @AP inquired, the UN/EU event was "rescheduled."

Looks like #Cambodia could be bringing hydropower dams into Virachey National Park, one of the best-preserved landscapes in the country - @antonldelgado reports

.@WildlifeRescue released a statement yesterday saying @cambojanews has a "political agenda" and is "issuing non-factual stories."
This comes right after the Agriculture Ministry threatened to shut down @cambojanews
Read the story, decide for yourself if it is "non-factual."
The Ministry of Agriculture threatens @cambojanews with the “same outcome” as that of @VOD_English. The ministry claims a story about an activist being beaten bloody was in breach of journalistic ethics.
The spox of the ministry is a former journalist.
So much for “new blood.”
A new report says Cambodia’s Indochinese leopards are functionally extinct amidst a crisis of poachers setting traps to catch game. What does this mean for the country’s plans to reintroduce tigers? Reporting by @andrew_califf

Solid reporting from @jack_brook96 & @cambojanews team on the darker side of conservation in #Cambodia.
'Their shelter has been repeatedly burned down by ranger patrols and in December, their clothes and other possessions were again set on fire, he and his wife say.'
Biodiversity corridors & Ramsar sites - which were never formally protected - have been absorbed into existing protected areas, but as @andrew_califf@nimol_seoung & @EungSea11 reported for @cambojanews - people live in these places & it's a problem...
