Lander, WY: I just spoke with Kari via Skype and she, Andre and Yoen have made it safely back to Phnom Penh. It is Thursday night there about 11:00pm and she sounded exhausted. She sent about 30 pictures, many of the forest destruction, but was too tired to write a report. She intends to write a new report in the morning so please check back.
Aural Wildlife Sanctuary on fire. Local mountains with haze in the air. Dead trees–the results of the logging. Local Forestry administration building. Oxcart carrying illegally logged trees from the Aural Wildlife Sanctuary Oxcart driver stops to pay a bribe. Woodyard. Wood stacked for cooking fuel. Another woodpile Monk walking amongst the trees. Students outside the gate of the Grady Grossman School Master musician Ta Kay Kari with several of the teachers at the Grady Grossman School Kari and Andre with community leaders outside the Grady Grossman School Kari receives a stack of letters protesting the illegal logging Student and her bike outside the Grady Grossman School
