#Cambodia's government claims REDD+ is a viable path to conserving its forests, but it approved three new dams inside the Cardamoms which will result in widespread deforestation, jeopardising existing and planned RED+ projects there. My latest Mongabay news.mongabay.com/2025/03/new-da…

Latest from me for Mongabay published last week, #Cambodia's courts denied bail to five Mother Nature Cambodia activists who have been imprisoned on charges of plotting to overthrow the government. Unclear how their peaceful protests amount to that... news.mongabay.com/2025/05/mother…

Latest from me & Nehru pry for Mongabay follows the grim case of Ouk Mao, an environmental journalist in #Cambodia whose reporting on forest crimes has seen him physically assaulted, ignored by the police and repeatedly sued by the government. news.mongabay.com/2025/05/attack…
