Ouch Leng, land reform project co-ordinator for the Cambodian Centre for Hum-an Rights, said that in 2011, 10,537 hectares were carved from the wildlife sanctuary and granted to 18 companies.
The Cambodian government has reclassified 12,000 hectares of wildlife sanctuary to make way for agro-industry concessions for three companies, according to the royal book issued on March 19.
The land has been cut from the Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary, the largest protected area in Cambodia, which covers 402,500 hectares of land at the juncture of the Preah Vihear, Oddar Meanchey and Siem Reap provincial borders.
According to the royal book, on March 13 Prime Minister Hun Sen signed three sub-decrees granting concessions to three private companies for agro-industry and rubber plantations. The sub-decrees annul all other legislative provisions concerning the land, including laws protecting the sanctuary.
