Prey Lang Community, NGOs Cry Foul Over 99ha Forest Land Allocation to Cement Factory Despite Pledge to Increase Forest Cover
Environmental activists and communities launched a campaign urging the government to revoke a sub-decree that allows a private company to build a cement factory on 99 hectares of protected forest in Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary. They said it will jeopardize the forest biodiversity, violate climate pledges, and put corporate interests ahead of public welfare and the environment.
