Hello friends!
Thanks to your support, we have continued our efforts to support local environmental activists, the protectors of trees and turtles. We work with Indigenous communities in the Prey Lang area to strengthen their nonviolent advocacy strategies and resilience to internal and external conflict. In recent months, we have continued to do this work but have also facilitated some celebratory events, like the PLCN annual meeting--complete with a tree ordination ceremony--and a turtle release to boost the local population of turtles. This work is not easy; deforestation continues despite the efforts of these communities as a result of entrenched corruption and lucrative markets for timber. Yet without their efforts, deforestation would likely be much worse. Therefore we continue to put our hope in local forest defenders and keep working for a more peaceful and green home.
