APNED condemns the unjust arrest and detention of six Cambodian environmental defenders from November 23 to 25. The six environmental human rights defenders were investigating illegal logging in the pristine Veun Sai-Sem Pang National Park, in Stung Treng, northeastern Cambodia, when they were arrested by military.

The Asia Pacific Network of Environmental Defenders (APNED) successfully held three trainings on participatory action research and security in Cambodia, Indonesia, and the Philippines in 2024. The trainings increased the capacity of Cambodian, Filipino, and Indonesian environmental defenders in conducting research on environmental and human rights issues as well as in ensuring their safety against physical and/or digital attacks while they conduct their work.
