Upset Villagers Appeal Against Destruction of Flooded Forest
Kampong Chhnang: The Lvea villagers reported that they are very angry about the activities of clearing and damaging their local forest, which is also an important habitat for wildlife. They say that police will not listen to their complaints, and that they refuse to do anything. Meanwhile, because nobody will stop the loggers, the forest is being destroyed by illegal logging every day. The area being cleared includes the Flooded Forest at Lngeang Mountain, which is a sanctuary for fish and many birds.
For a long time, the local people used to protect the forest from the loggers, but because the authorities turn a blind eye, there are more and more loggers, and the villagers are powerless. When they tried to argue with the loggers, they got told to talk to the boss.
As a result, the local people have appealed to Mr. Som Pirum, the Chief of Fisheries in Kampong Chhnang, to ask him to stop the workers from clearing the forest.
