http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12152759 - Exhibit A - 12 January 2011 - large and arguably illegal plantations in Cambodia causing controversy
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17980399 - Exhibit B - 7 May 2012 (1 year later...the wheels of justice move slowly)
Large land grants in Cambodia lead to illegal logging and evictions of villagers say the above. Since this is a motorcycle forum and not a political forum, let me limit the thread to whether anybody has seen one of these large "plantations" while visiting Cambodia. Are they well marked by fences? Or is it just some guy with an AK-47 standing by a gated road who shoos you away if you inquiry too much or try to ride on their land?
