Expat Ben Davis and family, defending Phnom Tnout Wildlife Sanctuary, conflicts with villagers

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.

fixed that for you..
Cause he wants to and Khmers are more interested in the here and now, ( putting food on the table NOW) , especially poor ones.

Well thank God those poor hungry Khmers have an enlightened expat who knows what they REALLY need and is here to save them from their own stupid inclinations for food, shelter and what not.

I'm not arguing the merit of what he's doing. I'm saying he lacks standing, which is polite for he should mind his own business and work on cleaning the mess in his own back yard.

You gave to admire the bravery of someone taking a stand against deforestation and extinction of wildlife. It’s time to get out though.

Anti-logging is an environmental concern and he comes from a country that is the 2nd largest emitter of greenhouse gasses. Maybe he can focus his reform minded energies on lowing greenhouse gas emissions in the USA.

I admire his courage but I also admire that Aussie girl in SR who just smiled after her bar was raided for weed related activities and I also admire that crazy man who wouldn't return the cow. All that admiration and they are still both in jail.
