Cambodian Cardamom Mountain Wilderness to Be Dammed By Rainforest Portal, http://www.rainforestportal.org/ May 27, 2008 TAKE ACTION Dam construction must not damn opportunity for protection of one of Asia's last intact, fully functional natural ecosystems http://www.rainforestportal.com/alerts/send.asp?id=cambodia_cardamom The Cardamom Mountains in Southwest Cambodia -- one of the worlds priceless ecological treasures -- contain the region's last true wilderness with untouched rivers cascading to the Gulf of Thailand. This is one of Asia's last unbroken, large primary forest expanses with wild waterways linking mountain- top and ocean, containing still intact extensive tracts of lowland evergreen forest, and holding over 40 globally threatened species. The Cambodian government is preparing to dam and flood the Cardamom Mountains' riverways with a dubious hydroelectric scheme. There are many better-suited dam sites than the Areng River. Prime Minister Hun Sen's government should demonstrate wise leadership and fully protect the Cardamom Mountains.
