More than 600 Cambodian activists and rights defenders will travel Thursday to a remote forest area where a prominent environmentalist was murdered to underline their commitment to battle illegal logging and other environmentally destructive activities, organizers said.
Aside from wanting to commemorate the work of Chut Wutty, who was killed last month while investigating illicit logging operations in Koh Kong province, the group will patrol the surrounding forest in a bid to identify any illegal timber-extracting activities, they said.

you know what cambodia need is a good park ranger enforcement of environmental law and regulations, etc. when you have weak enforcement, bad people will take advantage of cambodia. so, it's time to strengthen and enforce cambodia's much needed law, etc. we all can call for it and do something to make a real, lasting difference for cambodia if we don't care who gets the credit or what political party one affiliated with, etc, you see. the rule of law shouldn't be politicized, period. it should be applied to the whole country, really.
