The Cambodian government recently approved at least three new irrigation dam projects within protected forests of the Cardamom Mountains that overlap with two carbon credit projects, reports Mongabay’s Gerald Flynn. Projects to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+) aim to combat climate change and support local communities by generating carbon credits for protecting forests. Companies and institutions can buy those credits to offset their own emissions. The recently approved Cambodian dams in Battambang, Koh Kong and Pursat provinces, and their supporting infrastructure, are expected to cause about 5,200 hectares (12,850 acres) of deforestation. “It is true that the construction of…

The shares are down 38% over the last 12 months, and 76% over five years. While its retail partnership with Marks & Spencer has performed solidly…
