27 February 2009
Cambodia has lost about 13 percent of its forest cover since the onset of the Khmer Rouge regime, with only about 60 percent of original forest remaining, a forestry official said Thursday.
“Based on a 2006 evaluation, there is 59 percent of the forest remaining, compared to 1970, when there was 73 percent,” said Chea Sam Ang, deputy director of the Ministry of Agriculture’s forestry administration, as a guest on “Hello VOA.”
The decline of the forest was from the growth of the population, he said, denying allegations of destruction of the forest and wildlife. Some wildlife thought extinct had even been found, he said.
Meanwhile, heavy fines and imprisonment of five to 10 years await illegal hunters and wildlife traffickers, he said. Preservation of wildlife needed the participation of the people, he said.
Chea Sam Ang applauded the government’s policy on forestry, despite worries from critics about deforestation.
“Hello VOA” callers said they had seen enough government preservation efforts in their areas, especially the provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Kratie and Ratanakkiri, where wildlife killed daily.

60% is more than good enough. Thailand got only about 20%. Plus, everything grows back very fast in the region. Therefore, nothing to worry about.

Why the satellite picture waiting for? or let khmer rouge kill the whole khmer in the Cambodia?
So the satellite waiting for?
This guy is the most corrupted officer in FA. He knows nothing about forests, except asking for bribes. Yes, 60% forest cover might be true, but who want forests without timber (only small and broken trees are remaining)? They may have based that claim on FAO's stupid definition of forest.
What? Forest without timber? Where did you got that from? Okay, but even so, what good is timber if you are not going to use it?

1;22AM your satire does not work well. You only open more clues to others to open your mask.
Let me guess. Oh lala!! You are Khmer born but from Youn parents.
Chea Sam Ang is Vietnamese. He was born in Vietnam and he is one of too many Vietnamese well trained to speak Khmers that sent to Cambodia.
