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 burn and plant cash crops. And illegal logging has spread out to nearby protected forests leading to a to live pillaging frenzy. One of one east investigates the wholesale destruction of cambodias rainforests. Reeses cambodias while the east where the mekong river borders prey long forest one of the last remaining evergreen woodlands in Southeast Asia. Its also the domain of environmental warrior and lawyer 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 ling is gathering evidence of illegal logging to pass on to conservation agencies and phone governance a joint 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 mr chen. But for now it looks like we wont be travelling further than the company roadblock. Yet. Thats what. Blaine is investigating claims the company is pressuring villages to give up the precious prison trains the legally entitled to tap. Com 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 risen trees as 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 on. About why im while. James 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 nowhere. 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. Because we film other villages scavenging for leftovers many symptoms go 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. That we all really want to stop the forests 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 down not see 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. Then in a clearing a roadside stop and what lengths is a ranger post to water illegal loggers doing the right just asian meat that can detect the money from the tractor. Accusing rangers 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 ryan juice do you believe that would be the case the money needed to work out about. This is an illegal act and the ministry would not tolerate this we do not support those who abuse the law and any activist who saw such activities should gather evidence and report to the ministry of environment so we can take legal action. Was handing over evidence 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. The simple try to the syndicates and recoded greens of damning evidence the picture that emerges is one of an environmental apocalypse ocus traded on a National Scale but it seems the gulf. Ment 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 in the 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 biotech is luci chang he says he can do what he wants is government cross a concession in my area i must create a whole even my father station because leasing. Must be created then we primed of tree. As this area. Do you clear timber outside of the concessions. No we spoke to a villager said he was told that if. The company couldnt buy the trees that would take them anyway just that happened. And they moved. The for the rich by jazz a text from michael station. Blue admits protected timber might end up in his 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 they. The Company Chairman claims hes supporting poor local communities offering jobs to clear the forest so that Something Else can be planted i will create the new path. For the local people. Who stay after school to set up everything in these coming back to the summary of. Cambodias southwest lies a natural treasure. The cardamom ranges contain the 2nd largest village in rainforest on mainland Southeast Asian. Illegal logging is rampant with the criminals who are up against a determined fools intent on stopping them so you conducted effective surveyor yes Good Good Good good and we discover that the illegal logging starts again. American conservationists so want to go to it is being briefed on the latest spike in illegal logging can you show me the exact where you want she leads 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 the Government Agencies in this country at. A very important that each case may follow it up. Large swathes of the cotton memes are being 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 do that culpable. But theres a lot of timber now the Wildlife Alliance ranger from the dominion marks tells us this man could face up to 5 years in prison because a load of luxury hardwood timber might have been sold for many thousands of dollars it had reached its final destination to defy the expansion anybody having to feed people to the water is going to be on the water and if the South Pacific smell. Ranges copus going to timber and sees the love used to try as well. And very must have permission to put down some of the big tech name of it but i dont have the big that better way and you know right because. Look at this this. Jihad against us its. You know only 2 years left here so what does this represent for us these are weapons of mass destruction each change well this. One. That this clear. Im heading into the wilderness with while my phone lines in forces police in 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 cannot live on. Cannot leave a 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 but he and the other occupants will be looking for somewhere else to sleep tonight. By the team discovers another illegal activity. The locals have constructed cumin to make charcoal. So when did i last year do you think. They just run away. And they have traffic for sure because. Maybe charcoal without judgement. Despite all 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 suggests otherwise. Laying film this large scale illegal logging on lend lease by an advisor. Cambodian prime minister. Conservationists. Cambodian forests are being systematically. And theyre headed. If you. Use this piece of paper to go outside. Under it on the mark. Least. To hold back the. Destruction. In the country. Ive. Thought about this and i think the feeling. Across the country. Is taking us to. Its a century in name only here to the government has allowed select companies to log in assigned areas. Of the sanctuary some of the forest most precious timber. This is the really special forest is it. To see how. Its. Going to be worth it for the caring valuable painting that killed the apple a lot of the family in a couple. Of little padded health. Claims they kept the team inside a Company Concession between lang says theres no such valuable timber there live to count i think the lie to us is not true so what hes saying is not the truth he actually stole it from the protected area. Each piece of timber can be so to try to use for as much as 250. 00 of this is probably a 10000. 00 condo. Assigned declares the syria is deserving of the highest level of protection so much notice other not of the government government sang officially a catalog u. S. Side European Union big sign sign the cause on 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 sincere about the rectitude. Of the sawmills easy to find. Them wrong. 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. We find a large stockpile of song timber 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 wing finds its important for him to record every discovery. But calling 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 would pay the ultimate price for his activism. As are the sound of. The language and 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 up and down the kids wore those he upset with him a businessman. Back then and today him a businessman of powerful people who work in the government. Investigation into the killing of chewed wood he was closed in made conflicting accounts of what happened. To dawn is now following in the footsteps of his father and then it was obvious which there are a lot of unforgettable memories of his there always there was a brave man a good father and a respectful data. Treading a similar path to child woody lange navigates the dangerous calls it that there were no catflap of the royal government is involved in corruption and therefore the Government Armed forces and the companies hate the forest defenders close to my drone was smashed several times when i received Death Threats you know i fled cambodia to thailand to see him. However i still continue my work. In these teams the camp 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 heed 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 own timber exports to europe. Vietnam 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 for. The a use is the deal only proceed if its convinced vietnam is acting lawfully just 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 with my mountain wildlife alarms foreign enforcers a new school drug and another days patrol with local rangers and police. Illegal logging and 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 shop for the same time. By entitled to harm for their own use hunting in a protected area its illegal and i was. Illegal but right fortunately sometimes the hunters get caught the good job guys who are what you did yesterday really happy you confiscate quietens what is going to happen today were going to go up the river and release the snakes. Reorganisation has 7 right just scattered over a large area of the current. That is promised to be an issue so its natural when habitants at a time of trying to mount on the black market so as the idea to to trap and bring these animals back alive or is it to kill both. 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 tiger isnt embarrassed 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. Would most of cambodias socalled protected areas are anything but likes new Wildlife Sanctuary you the vietnam border this is a satellite image from 10 years ago. This is how the books today almost completely bereft of animals and forest maybe 10 year goes here is its jungle and a lot of forests. Away and im all right. At a bit what actually happened here a few years back that i would come in to destroy the terminate their forests here. In this poor country people are living off the land is they always have.
