30 July 2026

Members of the Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN) in Preah Vihear province are calling for local authorities to take stronger action against a group of illegal timber traders who threatened community members during a patrol of the wildlife sanctuary last week.
PLCN members encountered a group of timber traders preparing to load illegal logs onto a truck on 26 July while patrolling in Thmea commune, Chey Saen district. A video clip published on forest activist Ma Chettra’s social media account shows the alleged loggers insulting and threatening to beat community members who were trying to stop them, and later leaving the area without the logs.
