Cambodia Burning - Deforestation - Forest Fires - Climate Change

Cleared forests in Preah Vihear Province, in northern Cambodia near the border with Loas. Most of the land Cambodia's forests once occupied have been sold by the government for agricultural concessions. 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.
