Its a pristine wilderness like no other. These are some of the largest and last remaining evergreen forests on the indochina peninsula. But across the land the cambodian government has allowed Agricultural Developers to slash and burn and plant cash crops. And illegal logging has spread out to nearby protected forests leading to it to live pillaging cranes in. One of one east investigates the wholesale destruction of cambodias rainforests. Rescinds cambodias wadding sed with the mekong river borders pray long forest one of the last remaining evergreen woodlands in Southeast Asia. Its also the domain of environmental warrior and lawyer or lang whos made it his mission to protect the forest. A bit about occurring at home but when i saw logging Companies Cutting trees and transporting logs right in front of me i was committed to defend the forest. Today laying is gathering evidence of illegal logging to pass on to conservation agencies and foreign governments. The taiwanese cambodian owned Company Called think biotech can legally clear trees here but only within a specified boundary so where are we going now to. Tell. Us. But for now it looks like we wont be travelling further than the company roadblock. Yet. Its much more. Well thats what. Blaine is investigating claims the company is pressuring villages to give up the precious resin trees theyre legally entitled to tap. Come paul and the company says if you dont accept the money you get nothing the company cuts them down anyway. We take another road that leads to the boundary between a protected forest and the company concession. Here we find him tapping resin trees is his family has done for 3 generations. The trees provide a Sustainable Living for his family and a supposed to be protected but he has something devastating to show activist laying that out on top of the top down but i dont move our food at all on a path why im the one. Jim says he refused to accept any money for the trees but think by take cut them down any white 2000 of them. Playing records the carnage in takes the satellite coordinates of every fall and tree. Where. I feel very upset for the last forest from which i make my livelihood when i came here id always see many monkeys jumping and screaming all over the place now its quiet. As we film other villages scavenging for leftovers many still timber back to the companies the chop down the trees in the 1st place was packed this is a village divided some here are trying to protect the forest others are paid by the company to tear it down. To get people village chief saying knowing hes on the side of consecration even though hes an official from cambodias ruling party. If yall really want to stop the farmers from being destroyed but we dont know how to do it but you are a Government Official and your own government is allowing this to happen what do you think of that. And then were here with the people dare not say anything at all government already granted the concession. The government is like our father and we are the children. As we drive off into the darkness the forest comes alive with activity on a road directly out of the protected area we encountered a rattling convoy of timber tractors so this is a legally logged isnt completely illegal because any cat inside that it only. Then in a clearing a roadside stop and what lengths is a range of host to water illegal loggers doing you write your station in it can detect the money from an attacker. Accusing ranges of taking bribes is a serious crime i take langs allegation tonights picture a Senior Ministry of environment official an activist told us that. Paying bribes to the rangers do you believe that would be the case then were here to work out about how this is an illegal act and the ministry would not tolerate this we do not support those who abuse the law in any activist who saw such activities should gather evidence and report to the ministry of environment so we can take legal action. And we go reverence is precisely what wing has been doing things using g. P. S. Tracking satellite imagery and drawings he forensically exposes the big illegal loggers. I gather evidence in order to make reports about forest crimes. These improve try to their syndicates and recorded reams of damning evidence the picture that emerges is one of an environmental apocalypse ocus traded on a National Scale but it seems the government is not listening. I used to submitted to the government on several occasions but my reports were deemed dissenting negative and baseless against the government. This is the destruction of pristine wilderness and ecosystems. The companies have another wood for it reforestation. They plant in cash crops like rubber and acacia. We follow the trial of resin trees cut down from for a long forest ended up this primed. With chairman think by is luci chang he says he can do what he wants as governments cross that concession in my area i mustnt create a whole even my coffee shop because nice it. Must be created then we primed of tree. Causes area. Do you clear timber outside of the concessions. We spoke to a villager. Said he was tall thats if. The company couldnt buy the trees that would take them anyway does that happen. The the full beach by jazz attacked from my concession. Gloomy its protected timber might end up here he saw him and replying to any by lation on unscrupulous contractors he cant explain why big coordinated logging convoys traveling at night why do they travel at night time. They travel in 1000 yes. You surely i know when they chirp that theyd. Become pretty chaman claims hes supporting paul local communities offering jobs to clear the forest so that Something Else can be planted i will create a new path. For the local people. Who set up a school to set up everything in these coming back to his memory. In cambodia self west lies a natural treasure. The cardamom ranges contain the 2nd largest village in rainforest on mainland Southeast Asian into illegal logging is rampant with the criminals who are up against a determined fools intent on stopping them so you conducted Effective Survey us Good Good Good and there we discover that the illegal logging starts again. American conservationists who want to go until it is being briefed on the latest spike in illegal logging can you show me the exact where you went she leans the Nongovernment OrganizationWildlife Alliance they supported by the government to work with police and local ranges to uphold the law so its out of hand these kingpins have their own kingdom and the they have their informants in place they have their local people they have their tractors their Buffalo Carts they have everything in place. So when his Team Includes former soldiers from Eastern Europe some who served in the French Foreign legion today on a road leading from a National Park they stop a procession of vehicles are going loaded with timber. The biggest role of our foreign Law Enforcement officers is to be watchdogs because Good Governance is the weakest point of the Government Agencies in this country its very very important that each case be followed up. With the current members whove been handed over by the government to Big Agricultural Companies and developers. Those areas have been stripped of valuable timber now the bordering protected forest is being ravaged. On patrol the Wildlife Alliance offices intercept a slow moving target with a prized and valuable one. That they can talk about. Which is like for jim. Talent Wildlife Alliance ranger followed him ox says this man could face up to 5 years in prison for his load of luxury hardwood timber marketing sold for many thousands of dollars but it reached its final destination fairly expensive and its very heavy beat people to the waters going to be on the water. And if the South Pacific smile. Ranges confiscate the timber and sees the love used to live tried is well. Very must have permission for council at the big check namable but i thought of the big that that away at you at the right because. Look at this. Rehashing stuff thats. It only 2 years left here so what does this represent for us these are weapons of mass destruction a chainsaw well just. One thing. That is clear. Im heading into the wilderness with wildlife in lines in forces police and dry and use. They have intelligence of an illegal logging camp deep in a protected area. After walking 7 kilometers its the camp dog that gives away the location. Its a rough life for the logan in these evidence theyve been here for weeks you can open it up. And up here in National Park. And to send a message this forest camp is destroying. The camp well it tells us he only arrived here the day before and had been looking for dead trees to cut fence posts that he and the other occupants will be looking for somewhere else to sleep tonight. By the tame discovers another illegal activity. The locals have constructed cue miss to make charcoal. So when you buy last year you think. They just run away. And they have struck a deal because. All you can. Respond to weve seen an official with cambodias ministry of environment downplays the situation. We accept that cutting the remaining forest does happen however large scale logging no longer exists. Medium size and small scale operations the evidence suggest otherwise. Langfield this illegal logging. In advisor to cambodian Prime Minister when sam. But long time conservationists. Saying cambodian forests are being systematically exterminated. Big time loggers are moving in and theyre headed by kingpins who have carved out their own geographical quadrant if you will and nowadays there is no more forest inside the concession so they use this piece of paper to go outside inside the National Park such as much weight as they possibly can and then launder it on the market. In this small pocket of a car the moment at least Wildlife Alliance is fighting to hold back the surge of forest destruction. Is our reality just a bubble in the middle in this country. Ive often. Thought about this and i think that the feeling is there. And outside of the bubble the floodgates of willing truly are. Across the other side of the country environmental activist ward lang is taking us to phnom frick Wildlife Sanctuary vietnamese border its a century in name only here to the government has allowed select companies to log in assigned areas. And it took a tablet. Almost a. Death. We heading to the cause of the sanctuary which old some of the forest most precious timber so this is the really special forest as it. Had of us. We dont have to travel to see how valuable it was forced to use its a hazardous trip for these motorcycle riders but its going to be worth it for the caring valuable painting that give the apple a lot. Of. Claims like up the timber inside a company concession. Theres no such valuable timber there left to cut. To us through so what hes saying is not the truth he actually stole it from the. Age piece of timber can be sold to try to use for as much as 250. 00 of this is probably a 10000. 00 condo. Assigned to claims this area is deserving of the highest level of protection. So no ones taking much notice of a lot of the government government sang officially log us side European Union big sign sign the cause im precious forest its still being lost and. Sometimes i cry i feel disappointed because im not able to protect the forest but i see that the destruction is so big but no one helps to protect it the government does not arrest the tree cutters but it arrest the forest activists. For companies to operate in this forest the since it got the rectitude. Of the saw mills easy to find. The government gave the green light to reopen the sawmills that had been closed as we can see 100000 hectares of the forests were cleared from the meat its now extinct and will never return. Soon timbo the men guarding it so it was confiscated and this place is a ranger post its another unlikely story. And. The further we drive the more sawmills ling finds its important for him to record every discovery. But combing out illegal activity can be perilous in cambodia. At a grave in the capital phnom penh a proud son remembers a brave father an icon of cambodians Environment Movement who daum is the son of church who paid the ultimate price for his activism. As are the sound of. He really wanted me to love nature what he wanted was to stop the destruction of combo didnt forests. 8 years ago while investigating a logging company chewed wood he was shocked and hes remembered for confronting the most powerful illegal loggers in this country but that up until now could warn those he upset with team of businessmen back then and today jim a businessman of powerful people who work in the government. Investigation into the killing of truth when he was closed made conflicting accounts of what happened. Who dont is now following in the footsteps of his father. Salvage there are a lot of unforgettable memories of his there always there was a brave man a good father and a respectful data. For trading a similar path to church would be lang navigates the dangerous calls it that there were no cats out of the royal government is involved in corruption and therefore the Government Armed forces and the companies hate the forest defenders. My drone was smashed several times when i received Death Threats i fled cambodia to thailand to see a repro vince however i still continue my work. Team the can down to the. Theyve been tipped off there is timber on the moods where its going is an international scandal. To find out more we travel to cambodias border with vietnam on a stretch of road playing is most familiar where. He will fall. Along the road lang recognizes sponsors for the timber smugglers they had to report anything they can upset business including the appearance of activists like him. In smaller program formation and. This is the official border but its not the favored route of return to smugglers of my theyre armed with about 20 illegal crossings here. And i can see the checkpoint today there is a rampant illegal industry smuggling timber across this border but despite the work of laying in divers exposing it the news struck a deal that will allow vietnam to certify its scientific experts to you. Be it now is a fictive lee laundering then exporting illegally launched timber from cambodian forests im fed up with the European Union they are good they engage in the timber trade with vietnam even though they know that vietnam is a rascal and a thief who steals the timber. The a use is the deal only proceed if its convinced vietnam is acting lawfully for there is no doubt about this illegal cross border trade its something even high ranking officials in the government it made it out i mean there is still timber going. Across the border because there is a black market in that area these activities are illegal thats why the ministry of environment as well as other relevant ministries and border officials cracking down on forest crimes. Back in the car my mountain wildlife alarms foreign enforcers a new school drug and another days patrol with local rangers and police. Illegal logging in poaching go hand in hand here where the locals are going in the forest. To collect fruits or whatever they are bringing with them to homemade gun snares so they can honk and set up truck from the same time.

Illegal but right fortunately sometimes the hunters get caught the good job guys who are what you did yesterday will happy you confiscate the quietens what is going to happen today were going to go up the river and release the snakes.

Traditional medicine has always been the biggest drive along with restaurants for the animal parts that are trafficked to china and vietnam and they are range from the charismatic elephants in tigers and bears all the way down to lizards and snakes and turtles and turtle ices. Apart from the released into an area where they should be so you.
