100 ha of land illegally cleared in Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary

The Andong Kraloeng forestry community is up and arms over 100 hectares of forest land inside Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary being cleared illegally with no intervention and action taken by the provincial environment department.

Andong Kraloeng community member and forest protection activist Sok Khathot told Khmer Times yesterday that he had seen the illegally cleared land in Keo Seima wildlife sanctuary in Andong Kraloeng village, Sen Monorom commune, O’reang district, Mondulkiri province.

“When I was patrolling with my team in Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, I saw the bulldozers clearing the forest with a few workers,” he said, adding that if the illegal land grabbing continues, it will affect the livelihood of the people in that area.
