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.

Is anyone actually growing *luxury wood* as an investment for their grandchildren - like growing oak or walnut in temperate climes ...

What a pity Sihanouk didn*t order the planting of entire hectares of the right kinds of trees in the fifties and sixties!

Stop asking for foresight, that's too much. They need immediate gains.

There is a rosewood plantation in Kompong Speu called Grandis. I believe it's Australian owned and operated though. The locals don't really get long-term stuff like that, as there's never been a forestry industry here the way there is in the US, Canada, Norway etc. Well, there's the cutting down aspect of forestry, but planting non-fruit bearing trees is virtually unheard of.

Plant back? After all those years of logging and stuff? People start bragging about plant back... We can't even eliminate the illegal logging. Have you ever seen Stueng Treng Province from above the sky? Now compare to 90s, it's just sad!
