Mother Nature Cambodia, the Right Livelihood Award and why Facebook still matters
Since 2013, Mother Nature Cambodia has systematically and relentlessly exposed environmental damages caused by economic projects and the sellout of natural resources, often linked to the highest level of the Cambodian government. Through viral campaigns on Facebook, the organization galvanized and educated a broad base of young supporters. Mother Nature Cambodia’s investigative activism made the organization a target of intimidation, surveillance and persecution by the Cambodian regime.
