Sok Khoeurn, 20, Puth Voeurn, 28, and Kong Neam, 49, gather hearts of palm in the forest near their village. They live in Sandan district, which is the site of Prey Lang’s largest land concession. The sounds of chainsaws and billowing smoke plumes are omnipresent: “We are scared of the Company that is clearing our forests every day… I am afraid I’ll have nothing to feed my children because our forest is being destroyed†said Ms. Khoeurn.
