Ministry puts brakes on Pailin dump plans
Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment has called on local authorities in Pailin province to find a new location for a 34-hectare dumpsite currently planned for a protected forest.
Environment Minister Say Sam Al, who led a team to inspect the site on 3 October, wrote to Pailin Governor Keut Sothear following the visit explaining that Samlot Protected Forest had been deemed an unsuitable area for the dump.
