How REDD+ projects help farmers stop clearing forests

While he was in Cambodia recently, Innovation Forum’s Ian Welsh spoke with Kong Bunchhean and Uk Troap, farmers living in the village of Sovanna Baitong in the Southern Cardamom region. They talk about how funding from the local REDD+ forest project has enabled them to develop a sustainable future for their family and stop deforesting and poaching.
