Kampot / Kep Survey - day four

Today's surveying has been encouraging for both Heap and I. We
travelled out towards Kompong Som this morning to meet with a
community losing two thousand plus hectares of land to a Chinese?
company. The legal situation sounds confusing and in the space of
legal fog the government and company have taken a large tract of land
(one side is 10 km long) on the mountainside where the community
relies on for agriculture and forest products that increases their
livelihood sustainability.

One community seems to be bold and face the company. But many are not.
