John,
Nature defenders in Cambodia are urgently asking for our help.
Six brave activists were just jailed for trying to expose shady business
interests driving deforestation. And the police stole ALL their equipment!
They’re out of prison now but have barely any funds and need to buy new
drones and night cameras to collect evidence of destruction deep in the
forest.
Cambodia has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, and
activists trying to expose the corrupt industries driving the
destruction risk arrest, intimidation – or worse.
Despite the dangers, they’re not giving up. But they can’t beat murky
corporations on their own.
If all of us chip in a little, we can send them the cash they need – and
keep up our work to protect forests everywhere. Can you chip in to help?

Veun Sai-Siem Pang National Park is a national treasure in Cambodia, home
to the near-extinct giant ibis bird and the clouded leopard. New species
are STILL being discovered in this wildlife haven!
Indigenous people also rely on the forest for clean water, food, and
medicinal plants. But it’s fast disappearing.
2023 was the worst deforestation year ever for the Veun Sai-Siem Pang
National Park.
Rampant illegal logging facilitated by a murky web of corrupt government
officials is to blame and brave activists are working tirelessly to prove
it by collecting evidence via drone and satellite imagery.
But forest defenders are paying a high price. Time and again,
environmentalists are being arrested on trumped up charges and silenced
for their work. They're risking everything to save Cambodia’s forests and
need all the help they can get.
That’s where we come in. Together, we can supercharge their efforts by
helping them buy the equipment they desperately need to keep exposing
rogue actors illegally destroying Cambodia’s forests, build strong cases
to demand robust forest protections – and keep up our campaigns fighting
for wild places everywhere.
Can you chip in to help?
