Nature defenders in Cambodia are urgently asking for our
help.
Six brave activists were just jailed for trying to expose shady
business interests driving deforestation. And the police
stole ALL their equipment!
They’re out of prison now but have barely any funds and need to
buy new drones and night cameras to collect evidence of destruction
deep in the forest.
Cambodia has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world,
and activists trying to expose the corrupt industries driving the
destruction risk arrest, intimidation – or worse.
Despite the dangers, they’re not giving up. But they
can’t beat murky corporations on their own.
If all of us chip in a little, we can send them the cash they
need – and keep up our work to protect forests
everywhere. Can you chip in to help?

Veun Sai-Siem Pang National Park is a national treasure in
Cambodia, home to the near-extinct giant ibis bird and the clouded
leopard. New species are STILL being discovered in this wildlife
haven!
Indigenous people also rely on the forest for clean water, food,
and medicinal plants. But it’s fast disappearing.
2023 was the worst deforestation year ever for the Veun
Sai-Siem Pang National Park.
Rampant illegal logging facilitated by a murky web of corrupt
government officials is to blame and brave activists are working
tirelessly to prove it by collecting evidence via drone and
satellite imagery.
But forest defenders are paying a high price. Time and again,
environmentalists are being arrested on trumped up charges and
silenced for their work. They're risking everything to save
Cambodia’s forests and need all the help they can get.
That’s where we come in. Together, we can supercharge their
efforts by helping them buy the equipment they desperately need
to keep exposing rogue actors illegally destroying Cambodia’s
forests, build strong cases to demand robust forest protections –
and keep up our campaigns fighting for wild places everywhere.
