Cambodia: 20,000 hectares of species-rich rainforest are to be flooded by a dam reservoir

Stop the flooding of the Cardamom Forest!

Environmentalist in Cambodia and Australia ask for our help: the rainforest in the Cardamom Mountains is to be inundated in the reservoir of a projected dam. A Chinese state-owned power company was awarded the contract.The Upper Areng Valley provides habitat to many endangered species and is home to the indigenous Khmer Daeum people.

The good news: the project is not signed yet and can be prevented.

Please sign the petition which the Cambodian environmentalists will be submitting to China Guodian Corporation HERE

This is what’s at stake: rainforest as far as the eye can see
