Over 2,000ha out of more than 10,000ha of flooded forestland around the Tonle Sap Lake have been seized, with more than a dozen offenders already begging for clemency for their encroachment on the protected areas which the government says must be preserved as fish-spawning habitat.
Kampong Chhnang provincial governor Sun Sovannarith has vowed to provide local people with solutions to problems through community visits by relevant authorities from this month onwards. Residents will no longer have to spend time and money travelling to district or provincial authorities for answers, he said.
