Deforestation in Cambodia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Deforestation in Cambodia
Cambodia has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world, third to only Nigeria and Vietnam, according to a 2005 report conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).〔Butler, Rhett A. ("Nigeria has worst deforestation rate, FAO revises figures" ). ''mongabay.com''. November 17, 2005.〕 Cambodia's primary rainforest cover fell dramatically from over 70% in 1970 at the end of the Vietnam War to just 3.1% in 2007. Deforestation is accelerating at an alarming rate, with overall rate of total forest loss at nearly 75% since the end of the 1990s. In total, Cambodia lost 25,000 square kilometres of forest between 1990 and 2005, 3,340 square kilometres of which was primary forest. As of 2007, less than 3,220 square kilometres of primary forest remain, with the result that the future sustainability of Cambodia's forest reserves is under severe threat.〔("Logging threatens Cambodian tragedy - UN" ). ''Thomson Reuters''. March 6, 2003.〕 According to a 2015 report, U.K. environmental rights group Global Witness places Cambodian timber magnate Try Pheap at the center of a large illegal logging enterprise driving Cambodia's rarest tree species to the brink of extinction. The report concludes that the operation of the illegal logging is being done with the collusion of government and military officials with virtually all of the illegally cut and transported wood going to China〔https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/timber-trader-try-pheap-linked-to-vast-logging-racket-77466/ Retrieved February-072015〕 ==Rare wood types threatened with extinction==
The organization 'Global Witness' says a vast illegal logging operation is driving the country’s rarest tree species to the brink of extinction with government and military officials acting with impunity to keep the operation functioning. The Global Witness report said 'government and industry insiders, including people who work for Okhna Try Pheap, indicated that entrenched corruption had ensured loggers in his network were given safe passage and immunity from timber confiscations and penalties.'〔http://www.rfa.org/english/news/cambodia/cambodia-illegal-timber-trade-02062015122016.html Retrieved February-7-2015〕
