Wildlife Trafficking in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Kandal Province: Two restaurants selling wildlife in Takhmao, Banteay Mean Chey Shop and Heng Heng Shop, were visited by the authorities in a crackdown. Everybody knows that wildlife is being sold illegally in Takhmao, and there have been complaints that Kandal's Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is not taking appropriate action on wildlife trade. After previous similar crackdowns by police, business has resumed as usual, so this will be investigated by the ACU (Anti-Corruption Unit).

It's really sad to see tortoises getting poached like that. They take years to reach maturity and are rapidly disappearing from the landscape. :cry:
Silence, exile, and cunning.
