An informative and amicable morning coffee talk with Dr. #SamInn , the Secretary of State of #Cambodia 's Ministry of Environment. Hoping to see and join the tree-planting and reforestation campaigns under the ministry's initiatives. Happy to be a critical friend😊

I applied for an #ICCR scholarship in 2008 & was interviewed by Indian diplomats in #PhnomPenh , 'why do you want to study in India?' I replied India is the world's largest democracy & I wanted to know more.

Now, is #India still a democracy? My Indian friends, vote for democracy!

#Cambodia 's govt launched a campaign to plant one million trees & is committed to reducing the country’s forest cover to 60% by 2050!

This is what the countries of the #MekongRiver can learn from! The #European dam removal movement achieved another record-breaking year. A remarkable 487 barriers were removed in 15 European countries in 2023 – a 50% increase on last year’s record number. damremoval.eu/dre-report-202…

An interesting podcast Jack Brook Brian Eyler! I believe #Cambodia has enough good reasons to build this canal, but it should have a comprehensive impact assessment in which relevant CSOs are part of the process. youtube.com/watch?v=5InLvn…

This is our first day of #KhmerNewYear 2024 celebration, but perhaps the extreme heat and villagers' low income and indebtedness make the pagoda unusually quiet during this auspicious occasion. #ClimateChange is not only affecting livelihoods but also sociocultural practices.

“It’s a wrap” on our Khmer New Year video! Join us on a journey through time to learn about weaving krama🧣and (hopefully) make it back in time for celebrations. Happy #KhmerNewYear to all friends.

The Ministry of Environment has a directive to ban burning rice straw and garbage in their fields. But we still see rampant burning activities in both rural and urban areas nationwide. What's wrong with this policy or do we need another one? #AirPollution

My story, interpreted by Rithy Panh, has become a movie and has been selected for the Cannes Festival!!!!

This stream originates from the #CardamonMountains & flows across many villages to #TonleSap passing through my home in Bakan, #Pursat . Suffer severe drought this year so we barely see a drop of water in the stream. Villagers try to dig for underground water, but can't find it 😔
