Japan Gives Money for Demining.
Japan Gives Money for Demining
The Japanese government agreed yesterday to provide more than $830,000 to the Japan Mine Action Service (JMAS) to assist the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) with demining operations in the northwestern part of Battambang province...
According to a statement by the Japanese embassy to Cambodia, this project is expected to benefit about 1,700 Cambodian people by alleviating the threat of landmines and facilitating community development in the area.
Since 2002, the Japanese government has provided more than $26.2 million for 95 projects in the Kingdom, mainly in the areas of primary education, heath, agriculture and mine clearance.
An estimated four to six million landmines and other munitions left from decades of war and internal conflict continue to contaminate Cambodia, according to a Cambodian Mine Action Authority (CMAA) report from November last year.
The northwestern regions bordering Thailand are heavily affected, while other parts of the country are considered moderate to low-impact zones, affected mostly by explosive remnants of war.
Landmine and UXO explosions killed 19,720 people from 1979 to September 2015, the CMAA report said.

Re: Japan Gives Money for Demining.
So $488 per person, not that cheap. They can then push further into the forest and do more illegal logging for the overlords.
