Environmental activists say that if they want to protect the forest, it will change the government

Founder of the Mother Nature Movement believes that the CPP-led government can not protect natural resources because the co-conspirators Deforestation and bribery of forest crimes are all government officials, powerful CPP and clan leaders, major government officials, including tycoons. Some of them Also close to the government. Environmental activists argue that as long as those civil servants still play the role of the Cambodian Forest Law, there is no hope of recovery. No.
Alejandro Gonzalez Davidson states that government officials sometimes serve as forest preserves, but there are also sometimes barriers. The mission of preventing forest crimes from the community and some organizations during their patrols. He said that when civil society groups, youth groups and communities jointly patrolling the forest, police, military police and local authorities came to intimidate and Break their spirit not to protect the forest: "The current government in power is not able to protect its natural resources. Why do we see that powerful people and sometimes friends, sometimes officers, and police officers, when they met with the group? Some of the gangs are behind the destruction of natural resources. "
Mr. Alexander said he did not believe in the ability of the government to protect the entire forest and forest in Cambodia and that those who decided The fate of the last breath of natural resources in Cambodia is that the people themselves have to exercise their rights, change the dictatorship. Can save the forest Some: "Local people, activists, and organizations are starting to act effectively in the environment, we see that the government takes a number of tools. As well as local authorities, the police have come to assault local activists. "

Similarly, the vice chairman of the Forest Protection Community, Ream Village, Tbeng Meanchey District, Preah Vihear Province, Mrs. Roeun Khan sees that the government does not seem to open eyes on the destruction. The vast jungle in the jungle has affected thousands of indigenous people living in that area, and This is the reason for the change Weather.She said that logging and illegal logging had become a profession of traders and corrupt officials had taken The role of a government official for the benefit of the perpetrators and behind the backs of illegal loggers: "If the government does not come, Look at one eye, they do not pay attention, because the forest is lumpy Their love. Coins are now abundant, such as police and environmental officials, who have not been barred by law, seeing people carrying wood overnight. I do not know how to swallow
The women added that some indigenous people were "very sad" and "very sad" about the loss of forest in the ancient forest of Preah Roka Has been left behind for generations and completely dissolved in Prime Minister Hun Sen's regime. She stressed that the government itself was responsible for the huge destruction of the forest.
Asia Free has attempted to contact a spokesman for the Council of Ministers, Phay Siphan, for clarification of the case, but many callers do not have the recipient.
But spokesman of the CPP, Mr. Sok An, reacted that the civil society officials had raised the charges against the government. In addition, some NGOs act in violation of their statutes.
He expressed optimism that the development of the country by recycling natural resources into the interests of the nation, such as developing hydropower dams, is inevitable. "The Government of the Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia, by the Natural Resources and Environment Protection Act, by recycling natural resources into the interests of the nation, such as building dams, </s> "Except for environmental degradation, the government takes a long-range view and profits are made without profits."
However, the Coordinator of the Secretariat of the Cambodian Indigenous Alliance, Mr. Loran, understands that if the government is willing to prevent forest crimes, it should check The legality of granting licenses to private companies such as the bottom of the Lower Sesan dam in Stung Treng province, Volleyball timber transport by boat or overland from distance into the bottom of the pool area several years ago.
He understands that subordinates and officials who do not fully implement the forest law seem to destroy the CPP's ballots: "We ask what wood Which passes from 3 to 4 containers to the Vietnamese port from the area (Lower Sesan 2). What? And the timber has not been completed, nor are any of these new timber imported from other areas Not Basin Basin? I think local officials are destroying the CPP's ballots if they do not implement the forest law. "

In August 2016, Prime Minister Hun Sen spoke at the Second National Forum on Natural Resource Protection and Conservation, saying that Deforestation is like cutting it off, and he hates most of the cutters. He said that every meeting of the party he repeatedly reminded his officials not to tolerate those who did not act illegally. Whatever it is. However, true fact is that forest crimes are still occurring, especially the smuggling of illegal timber to Vietnam. Has not decreased. In addition, the community forestry community and civil society officials are concerned that if the government does not agree to take legal action against powerful DK government officials, The bigger ones involved illegal timber trade, it will not reduce the destruction of Cambodia's forests.
