Tonn Kunthel, Bun Chantrea and Ame Trandem provided excellent assistance. Thanks also to Ngy San and Chhith Sam Ath for their overall support. Funding was provided by Oxfam America. It would be impossible to individually thank all of the hundreds of people who participated in this study, and assisted in various ways. However, it is particularly important to thank Peak Saven from the Culture and Environment Preservation Association (CEPA), who assisted in conducting the fieldwork in Stung Treng Province. Thanks also to Tek Vannara and Tep Bunnarith from CEPA for their assistance with valuable documentation and other support. In Ratanakiri Province, the 3S (Sesan, Srepok and Sekong) Rivers Protection Network (3SPN) coordinated fieldwork. Thanks to Kim Sangha and Meach Mean for their efforts, and to members of the 3S community network, including Ngong Bunchan and Pheut Pheua from Ta Veaeng District, for their assistance during fieldwork conducted in that Ta Veaeng District. Thong Lien and Nou Phit coordinated activities in Veun Sai District. Nang Noy, Sin Thonglao, and Thon Bunhan from 3SPN, and the 3S community network, assisted in organising fieldwork in Lumphat District. Many other villagers made exceptional contributions during the two field data verification meetings held in Ban Lung, Ratanakiri and Stung Treng town. Thanks to Hok Menghoin of the Land Information Center at NGOF for preparing the maps. The wildlife photos were provided by Andy Maxwell of WWF. Other support was provided by Megan MacInnes of NGOF, Yorth Bunny from the Cambodian Legal Education Centre (CLEC), Andy Maxwell of WWF, Hugo Rainey and Tom Evans from Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Paul Humphrey from 3SPN, and other NGO workers concerned with relocation and resettlement issues in Phnom Penh and other parts of Cambodia. They generously shared ideas and information with me, as did Grainne Ryder from Probe International, David Hall from Sechaba Consultants, and Jonathan Padwe. Thanks also to Pao Narit from the NGO Development Partners in Action (DPA) in Stung Treng for assistance in providing important documentation related to the Lower Sesan 2 dam. 3 Abbreviations 3SPN – 3S (Sesan, Srepok, Sekong) Rivers Protection Network ADB – Asian Development Bank CEPA – Culture and Environment Preservation Association CITES – Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species CLEC – Cambodian Legal Education Centre DPA – Development Partners in Action EIA – Environmental Impact Assessment EMP – Environmental Management Plan ERAV -

    KI Media Dedicated to publishing sensitive information about Cambodia TRAITORS? (ZEROS) Monday, August 10, 2009 HEROES CCHR Concerned By Removal Of Pen Bonnar From Ratanakiri Province CAMBODIAN CENTER FOR HUMAN RIGTHS PRESS RELEASE Phnom Penh ­ 9 August 2009 CCHR CONCERNED BY REMOVAL OF PEN open in browser customize free license contest pdfcrowd.com BONNAR FROM RATANAKIRI PROVINCE The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) is deeply concerned by the role played by a Provincial Municipal Judge in the recent removal of Cambodian Human Rights and Development Organisation (ADHOC) activist Pen Bonnar from his position as Ratanakiri provincial coordinator. The CCHR calls on Judge Thor Saran to clarify his recent comments in relation to charges against Mr. Pen and to explain his role in the removal of the provincial coordinator from Ratanakiri. The CCHR is concerned that the case of Pen Bonnar represents evidence of a practice in Cambodia whereby the threat of legal charges is used to silence the voices of human rights activists and to curtail freedom of expression. The removal of Mr. Pen from Ratanakiri follows an extrajudicial and ultra vires request by Judge Thor to the administration of ADHOC that they remove Mr. Pen from the Province. In so doing, Judge Thor advised, ADHOC would remove Mr. Pen from the jurisdiction of the Provincial Municipal Court of Ratanakiri thereby ensuring that charges of incitement against him would be dropped; “it is easy to end the case and the court can compromise, drop his case and avoid [his] detention”.

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.
