VANISHING ROOTS
In Cambodia’s northern Prey Lang Forest, one of the last remaining evergreen forests in Southeast Asia, a local community is organising to preserve its roots and traditions while protecting the land to which it belongs.
Confronted by powerful forces such as climate change and rampant deforestation, the community has learned resilience, solidarity, and compassion in its struggle to survive.
This is the story of a people bound together by a forest in distress—and, ultimately, a story about Cambodia’s future and the legacy it will pass on to generations to come.
