Cambodia - Lower Sesan II dam - Ethnic Bunong house in Kbal Romeas village
Neang Char, 32, is a mother-of-four living in Kbal Romeas village, in Steung Treng province in north-eastern Cambodia. The village lies deep in the forest on the Sesan River, and is home to around 130 families from the Bunong ethnic minority group. As well as feeling the impact of climate change on their traditional self-sufficient farming and fishing lifestyle, 5000 people from 20 villages in the area 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.
