During the past months, members of the Prey Lang Community Network have continued to document evidence of widespread illegal logging in the Prey Lang forest. Day and night, they see people transporting timber out of the forest, even being so bold as to travel by the homes of PLCN members. Additionally, PLCN members have documented many new logging operations inside and surrounding Prey Lang.
The Prey Lang Community Network is deeply concerned that the deforestation will continue without more cooperation and action by all relevant authorities.
For now, the PLCN will continue to do what it can to document all illegal activities, evidence of climate change, and the forest’s biodiversity. They will continue to advocate for the protection of the forest. If you wish to see more photos from their forest patrol, check out the PLCN Facebook page.
Several new mini documentaries about deforestation in Cambodia are out and available here and here.
Thank you for your support.
