Breathtaking Photo Series Depicting Prey Lang and its Activists

From the Prey Lang Community Network website: 

"Prey Lang (“Our Forest”) is the largest evergreen lowland forest remaining in South East Asia, and it is under threat.

It is home to an indigenous population of 200,000 native Kuy who have lived in peaceful harmony with the forest for hundreds of years. The majority of families sustain themselves by harvesting resin, rottan, spiders, palm hearts, and medicinal plants.

A recent report from USAID estimates that without urgent action, the forest will be effectively gone in 2-3 years."
