If they cleared trees for the land, then surely trees would grow back there if planted ...
Alternatively, sand? Surely there's an oknha for that... #beaches

It is actually very sandy and arid up there. Most of the trees were quite small and all seemed to be the same variety. I'd guess that the new luxury wood trees they have planted will need a lot of care and attention if they are to thrive.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 6:42 am why plant trees:?

The sad part of the story is the company has asked people to help plant the saplings they have supplied to replace the trees the company cut down. The new saplings are the types that will be very valuable when mature and I wonder who is going to benefit from that. Ah, that's right, the animals.

I'd be surprised if they lasted a season in that soil.Tootsfriend wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 7:43 pm The new saplings are the types that will be very valuable when mature and I wonder who is going to benefit from that. Ah, that's right, the animals.

Right, that's all the forests and trees taken care of, now maybe the same will happen with the lakes.

Re: Phnom Tamao Zoo Land Sale Rumors (UPDATE: Works Stopped)
It's literally one tiny little forest with no old growth trees. It was just a protected area. Other forests are still "open for business". It's just nice to keep Tamao the way it is given it's the only forest left between Phnom Penh and the coast. The rest is a fairly arid wasteland come the dry season. There's also no shortage of shitty borey outlines with cement post markers demarcating the empty, uninhabited plots throughout the Kingdom.Tootsfriend wrote:Right, that's all the forests and trees taken care of, now maybe the same will happen with the lakes.Spoiler:

Land-clearing in Phnom Tamao forest has stopped, yet...
18 August 2022
Cambodia: Journalists and activists detained for reporting on land clearing
Five journalists from an independent media organisation and four environmental activists were arrested while covering land clearing activity at a wildlife sanctuary in Phnom Tamao forest. The International Federation of Journalists joins its affiliate, the Cambodian Journalists Alliance Association (CamboJA), in condemning the incident and urges the Cambodian authorities to refrain from using violence against journalists and human rights activists.
