Tonle Sap forests razed by fire

Featured Replies

Nearly 250,000 hectares of flooded forests around the Tonle Sap lake – about a third of the total – have been consumed by fire since January, according to estimates by Conservation International (CI). PCI Cambodia director Bunra Seng described the situation as a “disaster”.

“Based on data from NASA’s MODIS satellite we found 230,100 hectares burned in Zone 3,” Seng said, referring to the administrative designation for the 640,000 hectares of forest, wetlands and grasslands that surround the Tonle Sap.

While negligence and land grabbing (which often involves conversion of forests into rice fields by burning) are suspected to be the immediate causes of the fires, experts say a combination of man-made and environmental factors are at play.
