  • The Bunong of Cambodia Maintaining Identity in a Changing World the Bunong People of Cambodia Are a People Under Siege
    A POWERFUL VOICE FOR LIFESAVING ACTION The Bunong of Cambodia Maintaining Identity in a Changing World The Bunong people of Cambodia are a people under siege. One of several hill tribe groups that inhabit the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam border highlands, the Bunong (also referred to as the Phnong) lead a precarious existence in their traditional forest homeland in the highlands of eastern Cambodia. Survivors of the wars that ravaged Southeast Asia in the 1970s, the Bunong today face new internal and outside forces that threaten their continued existence. But the Bunong are not without friends. Refugees International (RI), a 28-year-old organization that provides effective solutions to refugee crises, has worked assiduously in recent years on behalf of the Bunong. Lionel Rosenblatt, Refugees International’s President Emeritus, became aware of the Bunong’s plight when he found members of the group going home in a UN convoy in 1999. The Bunong and other indigenous groups were among the last of 250,000 refugees returning to their homes in Cambodia and they received far less assistance from the UN than those who had been repatriated earlier when the budget had been more generous. With advice from the Bunong and Rosenblatt’s guidance, Refu- gees International has focused attention on specific areas that can help the Bunong maintain their ethnic identity while adapting to the realities of the 21st century. These areas include education, health care, the promotion of traditional handicrafts, and helping the Bunong find their own political voice. RI has also played a major role in resurrecting traditional Bunong weaving.

  • Exploring the Conservation Success in Eastern Plains and Prey Lang Landscapes.Pub
    January 2015, Volume 2 Exploring Conservation Success in the Eastern Plains and Prey Lang Landscapes The USAID Supporting Forests and Biodiversity Project The Supporting Forests and Biodiversity Project is funded by the United States Government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Project began in November 2012 with the goal of improving conservation and governance of the Eastern Plains and Prey Lang Landscapes to mitigate climate change, conserve biodiversity, and increase equitable economic benefits to forest communities. This four-year project is implemented by the Winrock International (WI) in partnership with four strong partners that include Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), East-West Management Institute (EWMI), and The Center for People and Forests (RECOFTC). The Project is implemented in close cooperation and coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries through Forestry Administration (FA), and with the Ministry of Environment through the General Department of Administration for Nature Conservation and Protection (GDANCP). Three teams of development professionals employed by the Project focus assistance to the primary stakeholder groups. This assistance includes 1) collaboration and training to government and key natural resource managers at the national and sub-national levels to enhance their effectiveness to sustainably manage forest and conserve biodiversity; 2) collaboration and meaningful assistance to community forest groups, government officers, and private firms engaged in enterprises in or near forests to promote constructive dialogue that promotes better decision making for forest management and to improve economic development in the two landscapes; and 3) collaboration with forest communities and private sector firms to increase equitable economic benefits from the sustainable management of forests.

The checklist includes three species (Ingerophrynus macrotis, Micryletta inornata, Scincella melanosticta) which in Cambodia were formerly only known to occur in the Cardamom Mountains in the southwest of the country.

In a joint ceremony on 14 December 2011 in Rattanakiri province, community members of Le En village in Teun commune, Koun Mom district and La L’eun Kraen village in Ou Chum commune, Ou Chum district, received their certificates of collective land title for 1,454 hectares and 920 hectares, respectively. The third recipient-village, Andong Kraloeng in Sen Monorom commune, Ou Reang district in Mondulkiri province will be awarded communal land ownership for a total area of 1,425 hectares in January 2012. The three communities represent different indigenous peoples— Le En village is inhabited by Kreung and Tumpoun peoples while La L’eun Kraen village is composed mainly of the Tumpoun people. Andong Kraloeng village is made up of the Phnnong indigenous people. The communal land titles for indigenous peoples were approved late this year by relevant government ministries after three pilot communities submitted their applications in 2009. The right to collective land ownership for indigenous peoples is enshrined in the 2001 Land Law and in subsequent policies and legislation. The Royal Government of Cambodia also expressed its commitment at the international level for indigenous peoples’ land rights when it voted in favour of the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007.

  • National Assessment Report on Mercury in Cambodia
    National Assessment Report on Mercury in Cambodia Prepared by: Department of Hazardous Substance Management, General Directorate of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Environment Supported by: United Nations for Environment Programme, Division of Technology, Industry and Economics, The International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) August 2016 Acknowledgement The completion of this report could not have been possible without participation and assistance of many people whose names may not all be listed. Their contributions are sincerely appreciated and grateful acknowledged. However, The Department of Hazardous Substance Management, would like to express its deep appreciation and indebtedness particularly to following: His Excellency Say Samal, Minister of Environment, His Excellency Heng Nareth, Director General for Environmental Protection for their kind support in the preparation of this report and the implementation of Mercury Initial Assessment project United Nations for Environment Programme, Division of Technology, Industry and Economics, The International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) for providing financial and technical support for implementation of Mercury Initial Assessment project which this report is part of. Executive Summary In October 2013, Cambodia endorsed the notification of signatory of Minamata Implementation Plan for the UNEP Global Mercury, currently under implementation process. This plan is an indication of a new effort by Cambodia to provide additional guidance in the form of specific goals, objectives and actions for the sound management of mercury. In the Kingdom of Cambodia, the use of hazardous substances, especially the mercury substances are not normally managed in an environmentally sound manner and there is no specific government institution responsible for mercury management. Therefore, management of mercury and mercury-containing wastes in Cambodia is a collaboration of various ministries within a government.
