Passing for Protection

Country:

Author:

Large swaths of Cambodia are designated “protected areas,” but while laws supposedly safeguard these national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, the reality of these landscapes often diverge far from their designation.

Working as a staff reporter for the Southeast Asia Globe in Cambodia, Anton L. Delgado combines data trends, map analysis, and extensive boots-on-the-ground reporting across the kingdom to uncover the truth under the canopies. Delgado plans to show how the narratives and nuances of Cambodian forest management, with millions of dollars in international aid and a robust global market, affect the world.
