Illegal logging and transportation of the logs our of the Prey Lang continued to be a high concern of Prey Lang Community Network members who have been working to protect Prey Lang Forest more than 20 years. The restrictions on PLCN patrol activity for the past 2 years meant that trees in the forest are still to be logged and forest encroachment is unstoppable. The concerns of losing the forest not only direct effect on Kuy ethnic minority livelihood, but also culture, tradition and beliefs of the Kuy ethnicity. The pictures taken by PLCN’s smart phone have helped turn into advocacy tool to build evident based report, raising awareness of the destruction of PL and advocate for Cambodia Ministry of Environment to take action to protect the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary.
