HOW TO LEARN ABOUT NATURAL RESOURCE IN A VILLAGE

Natural resource is anything that people can use or rely on which comes from the nature and people do not make natural resources, but gather them from the earth, for example; air, water and wood are natural resources.

What does natural resource mean to developer or investment?

Base the image that we have seen so far in the current world, the investment are trying to get benefit from natural resource. Land concession is away needs big space of land for plantation. Hydropower dam is also need big space for reservoir to keep water to run the turbine to generate electricity. They need to cut off lots of trees or we can say destroying natural resources. So for investment would think "Natural Resource" is main source for their incomes. This is just one example and how many real example you know?

 “We Refuse to be Resettled by the Lower Sesan 2 Dam”

On 29th September 2014, the villager went to Stung Treng hall (Sala Khet) to submit an open statement to H.E. Mr. Kol Samol, Chairperson of the Committee for Solving the Impacts of the Lower Sesan 2 Hydropower Dam Project, announcing that they refuse to be resettled by the project. Unfortunately the H.E. Kol Samol, provincial governor was not at office and administration office of Stung Treng Hall cannot accept the statement and informed them to come again on 1st October. So they submitted through email first via email

On 1st October, community went to Stung Treng hall (Sala Khet) as their promise commit to submit their open statement to H.E. Mr. Kol Samol. However the result was as same as on 29th September that H.E. Kol Samol, provincial governor was still not at office and administration office of Stung Treng Hall still said the same that they cannot accept the statement because of the absent of H.E. Kol Samol. Community will try to submit their statements to the governor directly again.

Even their statement could not reach the Provincial governor of Stung Treng but communities were not giving up to publicly announce their voices, instead they spread out through Media, email and through other social medias. There’s several Medias release news related to community submitting letter such as, Phnom Penh Post, Radio Free Asia, The VOA.
