Some 100 pieces of luxury wood believed to be from the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary area were seized at the house of a military officer near the Vietnamese border on Friday, officials said yesterday.

 

The seizure comes just two weeks after the Walt Disney Company purchased $2.6 million worth of carbon credits as part of a plan designed to protect the sanctuary from illegal logging.

 

While the officer, identified as Chhay Savath, was not home during the raid, Chuy Sokheang, Forestry Administration chief for the Keo Seima area, said Savath’s wife, Chem Sovann, is being fined for possession of the timber.
