Deforestation Continues Despite COVID-19

COVID-19 has caused many people around the world to cease their normal activities. Illegal loggers, however, have not stopped encroaching on the Prey Lang forest. 

Currently, the members of the Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN) are dealing with the economic fallout of the pandemic as well as trying to stop the ongoing deforestation. In recent months, the PLCN and Global Forest Watch have reported an increase in logging near the north, south, and eastern parts of Prey Lang. Although they are currently blocked from going on major patrols, they have managed to do small patrols and take photos of the illegal logging. They have documented many tractors taking logs from the forest and through their communities. 

These are uncertain times, especially for communities who bear the brunt of environmental deforestation. Nevertheless, they are committed and continue to do what they can to protect Prey Lang. 

The PLCN thank you for your continued support of their advocacy and forest protection. Stay healthy and well.
