(Left) Mr. Khy Rin looks up at the canopy in a young Siamese redwood forest in Preah Sophea, Cambodia. The village chief says the young redwood trees in the community forest have been targeted by poachers whom often wait until the cover of darkness to enter the forest and cut down the endangered tree species.

(Right) A clear cut area nestled within a natural forest near Preah Sophea, Cambodia. Areas for cultivation are coveted for their ability to generate income through planting cashew and cassava crops. Village and forest community members are responsible for finding a balance between protecting natural forest and clearing areas for cultivation.


Natural forests contain the coveted Redwood. Valued for the distinct red color of the hardwood at its core, Siamese redwood often finds buyers in Chinese markets where the timber is crafted into furniture or ornamental carvings. Typically, hardwood from the core of a Siamese Redwood can fetch $1.30 USD/kg making it worth the risk for poachers in a province where the typical minimum wage is $1 USD per day.

Using hand tools, poachers enter the forest and first hand-drill through the soft outer timber at the base of the tree to gauge the amount of hardwood at the trunk's core. If a tree is deemed to contain enough hardwood loggers will fell the tree and transport it out of the forest by hand. Despite this estimation, however, loggers will often find the size of a young tree's hardwood is smaller than expected whilst felling the tree and abandon the tree partway through. This results in a number of young hardwood trees being left half-felled on the forest floor. Despite the efforts of local community members, poachers often go undetected due to the lack of resources the community forest volunteers have at their disposal. Shot for UNREDD, November, 2022.

A diptych (comprised of two individual still images) illustrating the stark differences in climate between two small towns in lower mainland British Columbia, Canada. Images were taken less than 100km apart on the afternoon of July 22, 2022,


Left image: Tree pollen, shaken free by winds from the south-west, create summer flurries under clear blue skies in the lower mainland town of Hope, British Columbia*.

Right image: Less than 100 kilometers to the north, winds fan a wildfire burning near the town of Lytton, British Columbia. Helicopters filled suspended buckets from the Fraser river in efforts to fight the blaze burning just across from Lytton, which has yet to start rebuilding since it was completely destroyed by wildfires in 2021.

*Note: Less than 2 months later in early September 2022, the town of Hope, British Columbia (left image) would be threatened with a fast-moving fire that would trigger an evacuation notice and partial closure of the Trans Canada Highway (Highway 1). British Columbia's Wildfire Service later declared that the increased late-season fire activity had set records for the number of fires detected per week between late-August and mid-October, 2022.

According to the Wildfire Service, the prolonged the fire season was attributed to a combination of higher than normal temperatures, and lower accumulated rainfall.
