Efficient circular economy helps protect environment - Since the 1990th, Cambodia’s economic growth around 10% - Plus, revenues from minerals and newly found oil and gas reserves - Although its economic growth, funding support for environmental protection and management is still poor - Land grabbing, illegal logging, illegal fishing and mineral extraction are major concerns - However, local communities with funding support from dev. partners have established fishery and forestry communities.
