It appears that this clearing in Peam Krasaop Wildlife Sanctuary was authorized by the Environment Ministry .

Mr Pheaktra [The Environment Ministry spokeman] said that eight families in the area have been living there since the 1990s and they used to run shrimp farms.
He said the families asked the ministry to grow mango trees instead.
“The ministry allowed them to cultivate in 2018 because they had enough documents to prove they owned the land,” he said.
Mr Pheaktra warned the public from occupying any land within the Peam Krasaop Wildlife Sanctuary as it had already been registered as state land.
He also called on the Wildlife Alliance to cooperate with the provincial environment department in stemming any forestry crime, such as forest encroachment or deforestation, within the protected area.
Last month, the Environment Ministry registered more than 50,000 hectares of protected area in Koh Kong and Mondulkiri provinces as state land in a bid to eliminate land disputes in these areas.
