New concrete houses in a mostly-empty, half-constructed resettlement site situated along a main road in Steung Treng province in north-eastern Cambodia. 5000 people from 20 villages are being evicted from their homes to make way for a controversial huge new hydropower dam: ‘Lower Sesan 2’, which will flood an area of more than 33,000 square hectares. Communities in this rural region are seeing their traditional self-sufficient farming and fishing lifestyle disrupted by dam building and the impact of climate change on crops, water quality and fish stocks.
