  • A small fire burns on the edge of the forest in the Beng Per Wildlife Sanctuary, in northern Cambodia. The sanctuary is a sanctuary in name only, as most of the land has 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.

  • CHINA. Chongqing Province.  Tourists in a temple in the town of Fengdu which is to be flooded. The flooding of the three Gorges, by damming the Yangtze near the town of YiChang, has remained a controversial subject due to the negative environmental consequences and the displacement of millions of people in the flood plain. The Yangtze River however is reported to be at its lowest level in 150 years as a result of a country-wide drought. It is China's longest river and the third longest in the world. Originating in Tibet, the river flows for 3,964 miles (6,380km) through central China into the East China Sea at Shanghai.  2008.
