Cambodia Burning - Deforestation - Forest Fires - Climate Change

Flooding along the Mekong River, in northern Cambodia, has led to forests being destroyed along the river. "Flooding is a way of life along the lower Mekong River in Vietnam and Cambodia. Every year between August and November, monsoon rains fill the rivers of Southeast Asia, and the Mekong River Delta broadens well past its dry season levels. The annual floods carry nutrient-rich silt to farmland around the river and provide the moisture needed to grow vast fields of rice", according to NASA's Earth Observatory.
