Kudos to you for once. yes, the Cambodian government has to wake up and smell the coffee. The forest is an intrinsic part of the landscape, nation, and earth. You take care of her and she'll take care of you. Minus she throws a tantrum once in awhile. Greennnnn........all the way.

My Khmer Leaders!

Look at your citizens, they are in difficulties....

They don't want any thing from you, just insist you that don't harm them by grabbing their land and do corruption...OK?

This is precisely what happens when the adminstration can't see the forest for the trees, because they (CPP)are too focused on the specificity of details in exploiting and robbing the country's natural resources and its people. Furthermore, woman in the picture speaks volumes; the corrupt public officials' action also speaks volumes.

I AM SPEECHLESS TO SEE THIS PICTURE. However, I'm very much appreciative and many thanks to the KI professional staff for their tireless works. Again, thank you for your hard work.
