Cambodia Burning - Deforestation - Forest Fires - Climate Change

A burnt out forest in the Beng Per Wildlife Sanctuary, in northern Cambodia. The South East Asian country has one of the fastest rates of deforestation in the world and it is estimated only 3% of primary forest is left throughout the country. Forest clearance is fuelled by demand for agricultural land and high value species of tree for the Asian furniture market.
