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?
