The Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN), is an alliance of Indigenous communities mainly composed of the Kuy people. Their aim is to protect the Prey Lang Forest, which covers approximately 500,000 ha in four provinces of northern Cambodia. To help their work with monitoring and reporting the ongoing and widespread illegal logging in the area, a smartphone app has been developed: The Prey Lang App. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my internship at IWGIA in the spring of 2020, Ida Theilade<\/a> was appointed as new Board Chair for the organisation. I was given the task to post a description of her and her work on the website and was in that way introduced to this inspiring project. From the initiation phase this initiative has been in close partnership and collaboration with local network of Indigenous people and activist, in co-operation with a Cambodian IT company<\/a>, and supported by students of University of Copenhagen and Danmission<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
