prey-lang: Mat Siev, 30, clears forest for a cashew plantation in Steung Treng province. Owning a chainsaw allows him to fell more than 100 trees per day. With the arrival of foreign owned companies, demand for small-scale illegal loggers like Siev has skyrocketed. Many illegal loggers pointed out that they have no other way to make an income, now that their resin trees and forest farms have been cleared for plantations by other loggers or larger companies.
