we cut down the trees, cause the land is to sandy for a forest

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.

The land under the Phnom Tamao forest is too sandy for a forest, a new zoo will be built in exchange for the satellite-city development, and wild pigs were destroying crops on nearby farms. That’s what government officials claimed in response to growing dissent over flattening the Takeo province forest.

Under fire over the rapid destruction of the Phnom Tamao forest by private developers, the Forestry Administration issued a statement Thursday afternoon defending the project.
The Forestry Administration said on Thursday that the land was not very good for a forest.

“This area is full of sand, on which the trees couldn’t grow well. The government decided to take this area to develop as a satellite city, which will be near the new airport and close to the Bati resort,” it said, referring to Tonle Bati lake, a popular weekend spot that is also slated to be partially filled for development.

Interesting. I assume then the Tonle Bati Lake is also not very fit to be a lake and water had problem staying there.

Everything is fine in KOW. HE has come to help and already gave an order this morning to stop the clearing and cancel the land deal . And the company who did cut trees in 130 hectares area is asking people to donate money via ABA for them so they can replant trees.
