Cambodia: ILLEGAL LOGGING BY CAMBODIA's ELITE (1of4) [EN&KH]
The Green Deal Illegal logging and the stripping of public assets by Cambodia's elite. Well they are only Cambodian in appearances but they are all Yuon who are very opportunist and profiting from the very confused and poor peasants.CAMBODIA'S JUDICIAL AUTHORITIESSHOULD:• Hold accountable those responsible for illegal logging and associated crimes.• Investigate and prosecute all those responsible for the cases of illegal logging, corruption, smuggling, attempted murder and kidnapping detailed in this report.• Prioritise investigation of the following people: Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(MAFF) Chan Sarun,1 Director General of the Forest Administration (FA) Ty Sokhun,2 Hun Sen Bodyguard Unit commander Lieutenant General Hing Bun Heang,3 Brigade 70 Brigadier General Hak Mao,4 logging syndicate leaders Dy Chouch,5 Seng Keang,6 Khun Thong7 and Seng Kok Heang.A kleptocratic elite is stripping Cambodia's forests:• Cambodia is run by a kleptocratic elite that generates much of its wealth via the seizure of public assets, particularly natural resources. The forest sector provides a particularly vivid illustration of this asset-stripping process at work.• Illegal logging is causing severe damage to Cambodia's remaining forests. The last global forest cover survey by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) found that Cambodia had lost 29% of its primary tropical forest over a five year period.• Cambodia's army, military police, police and Forest Administration (FA) are all heavily involved in illegal logging.• In many cases illegal logging is taking place under the guise of legally dubious plantation developments and harvesting permits. Many of these plantations and permits are being allocated to a small group of individuals who have close relations with senior politicians.• A particular concern is the damage illegal loggers are causing to Prey Long, which is the largest lowland evergreen forest in mainland Southeast Asia. The Cambodian government is currently developing plans to clear tens of thousands of hectares of Prey Long to make way for plantations.
