More than 300 activists took to patrolling the Prey Lang forest again for four days, March 23-26, to combat illegal logging. Dressed as Avatars from the blockbuster movie, members of the Prey Lang Network and the Cambodia Natural Resources Conservation group clashed with police and private security guards at a sawmill within Prey Lang forest.

Read the following interview to get to know Hong and why the fate of Prey Lang forest matters. Special thanks to our campaign partners at the Prey Lang Network for sharing this interview.
