Gov’t calls on public to help with wildlife, forestry conservation
Thu, 7 January 2021
Minister of Environment Say Sam Al urged the public to prevent land disputes and contribute to forest and wildlife conservation in the Phnom Tnout-Phnom Pok Wildlife Sanctuary.
Sam Al made the call during a public forum that discussed land dispute cases in the sanctuary. The forum was held earlier this week at the Boeung Per Wildlife Sanctuary office in Rovieng district’s Romny commune of Preah Vihear province.
He asked the people to switch from hunting wild animals, which is a criminal offence, to raising livestock such as buffaloes, cows, goats and lambs.

Land grabs spike in northern Cambodia
Wed, 30 December 2020
Forest and wildlife conservationists claim that land grabs and encroachment in the Phnom Tnout-Phnom Pok Wildlife Sanctuary, which spans two districts of Preah Vihear province and one district of Siem Reap province, have increased significantly as of late.
Environmental activists worry that it may be a bad sign for Cambodia’s wildlife sanctuaries in general if this trend continues.
Ben Davis, a US conservationist working in the sanctuary, told The Post on December 28 that while illegal logging operations in the area have persisted, the jump in activity that he is most alarmed about is an increase in migrants from other provinces trying to occupy the land, with few if any locals from nearby communities apparently involved.
