If you support our #SaveKohKongIsland campaign, and want to understand better the true role in society of the navy - and the tycoons & 'politicians' that benefit from its nefarious activities - you can't give this superb article by Gerry Flynn a miss.

A postcard from #Kampot 🤢🤢🤮🤮
Though the provincial authorities will: a) blame residents b) blame tides c) say the beach has been cleaned already. Truth is that while they keep peddling 'development' projects worth billions, they can't even manage the city's waste
#Cambodia

One of our best known forests #Bokor Nat Park is being sold to infamous tycoon #SokKong . In true Hun Sen's fashion, this is being done in complete secrecy.
As a result of the relentless repression against our activists, we will from now on be disguising their identities.

Our hearts are with those coping with loss of life, homes & livelihoods as a result of the ongoing floods afflicting #Cambodia . 😢We also hope that the #HunSen regime learns from this and puts an end to plans to fill in more lakes & wetlands, in Phnom Penh and other cities too.

For once, good news coming from #Cambodia .
The cheap attempt by the Hun Sen regime at hijacking our FB page #MotherNatureCambodia has failed. After the intervention and kind assistance by many people / groups, FB has now returned the page to its rightful owners: us.🤩🥳

In Hun Sen, activists expose an environmental issue; Authorities make a statement alleging the issue has been solved; Activists prove that's not true.
We show AGAIN how #Battambang governor is lying when he says that #SEWAGE is not being dumped onto the city's main river

សុំទោសផែនដី ដែលខ្ញុំបានបំផ្លាញអ្នក 😔
សុំទោសផែនដី ដែលខ្ញុំមិនអាចការពារអ្នកបាន 😔
Sorry, Planet, for not being able to protect you.

Forbid those criminals from entering the forest!!

Happy #EarthDay to everyone from #Cambodia

Amidst the Corona crisis, let's not forget that crimes against nature by the Hun Sen regime continue unabated. This video exposes how far TOO MUCH #sand is being mined from the #Mekong , thus causing widespread river bank collapses, as University of Southampton recently corroborated

Following two full days of protests ...
Good & bad news on Ouch Leng & 3 other forest activists detained since morning of March 13th: They have been released without charges but remain under investigation as 'suspects', so can be summonsed again by prosecutor / police anytime.

Repression by the Hun Sen dictatorship continues. Leng OUCH - one of Cambodia's top activists & 2016 The Goldman Environmental Prize recipient - has been detained alongside 3 others since yesterday morning while investigating forest crimes in #PreyLong . The 4 face possible imprisonment.

RAW #sewage being dumped onto #Battambang city's main river, needless to say thanx to the very peace that Hun Sen brought upon us🤪.
PS: ALL of Cambodia's cities also see most of their sewage being dumped onto rivers, lakes, the sea, rice fields, etc, untreated of course.

#Cambodia is addicted to #Plastic , especially single-use, & the nation is drowning in it. We will also soon expose the incompetence of Environment Ministry on this issue, but for now we concentrate on 5 simple habits that can reduce the scale of this growing #plasticpollution crisis.

The government says that #sandmining along the #Mekong is 'needed as it reduces riverbank collapses'🤪
Research below proves they are lying;
The dredging is: 'excessive & unsustainable, induces river bank instability, threatens lives & housing' etc.

Thailand & Singapore claim that 720 TONS of #gold worth $29 Billion were exported to #Cambodia from 2008 - 2018; Cambodia says it imported 29 TONS valued @ $1.1B from these countries over same period.
So 690 tons of gold / $28 Billion, 'MISSING'
Any leads as to how this happened?

What happens in Hun Sen when a small group of monks & activists start blessing the few trees that have escaped #Sihanoukville 's 'development' madness?
Authorities come & tell participants that the religious event is 'illegal' & 'must be stopped'.
Outright paranoia?

Another environmental crime unfolding in #Cambodia : #sandmining along the #Mekong , causing massive riverbank collapse and fish stock decline - all to build more condos for rich foreigners
Excellent 8-minute video on this under-reported issue by PBS NewsHour

Our groups' co-founder #AlexGonzalezDavidson found innocent by Koh Kong court, in what must be one the first times we see that in #Cambodia 's long history of harassment against critics of the Hun Sen dictatorship.
Btw he is still 'blacklisted', and thus unable to return

#Cambodia authorities have confiscated at least 6 shipments of #wildlife parts, on their way to Vietnam & China, valued at around US$4 million in the black market. Where are they being kept? Have they been 'sold on'? A Khmer activist asks Environment Ministry
IUCN Red List #poaching

Cambodia's largest island remains mostly covered with thick jungles & free of casinos, sewage, hotels. We demand that this stunning island is urgently made a National Park by
Environment Ministry and declared off-limits to development. Join our new campaign:
