Me and @VanthaPhoung poked around new iron ore mining concessions that #Cambodia's govt awarded to Try Pheap, a tycoon previously sanctioned by the US govt for illegal logging. The 28,000 Ha of mining concessions stretch across two protected forests...

The government is more interested in stopping the Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN) from protecting the #PreyLang forest than arresting illegal loggers, says PLCN member. Unabated illegal logging shows that the government is targeting the wrong people.

Since 2014, Nerea Turreira-Garcia & Dimitris Argyriou documented Indigenous knowledge of flora in #Cambodia's embattled Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary.

Their book, Gifts from Nature, shows that we don't even know what we might be losing in Prey Lang...

Preliminary satellite data from Global Forest Watch indicate that deforestation in Prey Lang in 2023 is set to surpass both 2022 and 2021, with the latter year marking the highest recorded forest loss since the start of the century.

A road carved from a reforestation concession into the heart of Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia appears to be facilitating the illegal logging and trafficking of valuable timber, a @mongabay investigation has revealed.

My latest for @MongabayOrg w. @_andy_ball & @punlok08 uncovers fresh evidence of illegal logging in #Cambodia's Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary - again, linking logging to the notorious Think Biotech operation.

Communities consider forest crime in Prey Lang a chronic disease in society, while the authorities seem to have no effective measures to prevent it.

How could there be an effective measure when the forest tycoons share the pie?

"As Cambodia’s largest protected area at just over 430,000 hectares, the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary lost around 8,300 hectares last year, lower than in 2021. But it still registered the highest amount of tree loss in the country for last year."

New satellite data reveals that Cambodia’s remaining dense forests were further depleted last year, with four major protected areas and national parks registering higher deforestation than in 2021.

Once again, authorities deny a report on @forestcrimes in #PreyLang

A mobile app was used to record the crimes in which each image was accompanied by date, time, UTM standard number and an image tag that proves the authenticity of the images

According to a report published by the National Committee for Forest Crime Prevention, 328,791 cubic metres of wood were confiscated in a major crackdown on illegal logging in the Prey Lang forest last week.

Is this small-scale illegal logging???
