From year 2000, the global demand for natural rubber increased
dramatically, primarily due to the growth of China’s tyre and automotive
industry. Over a fifteen year period from 2001-2015, more than 2.2
million hectares of forest in Cambodia have been felled – equivalent to
almost a quarter of the country’s total forest cover, or an area half
the size of Denmark. Almost a quarter of this area has been replanted
with rubber trees.
