Due to deforestation and land grabbing, everyone becomes a song writer and singer


Deforestation and land grabbing become a big problem in Cambodia. More trees and forests have been cut for money, farming and land. Local residents are suffering from deforestation. They can not live without forest, their lives depend on forest. They have suffered a lot from natural disasters like storm, flood and drought in Cambodia. They do not have enough power to protect their land and forest. They cannot do something to oppose powerful loggers. Therefore, to please themselves, they have started writing songs which can describe their emotional feelings and then they became song writers and singers. They sing to stop deforestation and call for help. They want to convince Cambodian Government to stop illegal logging in their home land.We have to stand up together to help our forest in Cambodia. Please look at this picture and watch the video clip taken from Free Asia Radio.
