US ambassador talks forest protection
US ambassador to Cambodia Patrick Murphy and the Greening Prey Lang project discussed conservation technology being used in Cambodia to preserve natural resources.
The USAID-funded Greening Prey Lang is a project that promotes resilient, low-emissions development and inclusive and sustainable management of the Prey Lang forest.
In a video chat show posted on the US Embassy’s Facebook page on Wednesday, Murphy said Cambodia has protected 40 per cent of its territory and that puts the country in a unique position.
He said the challenge is how to protect the integrity of that 40 per cent of the area from encroachment, illegal logging, and trafficking in wildlife.
