ImageWorking elsewhere in Cambodia, the ABE has found tree ordination ceremonies to be one of powerful tools for introducing the links between Buddhism and conservation to local communities, and promoting the latter. ABE uses this approach to promote the protection of the “Sacred Forests” that is facing enormous pressure from encroachment by land developers and villagers. On 4th June 2008, Venerable Hiek Sopheap, Executive Director of the Association of Buddhists for the Environment (ABE) celebrated mangrove tree ordination ceremony in Kampot province. This image was issued by local magazine “Dara” issue 65, year IV, dated 26 June- 09 July, 2008 under its title “Habitats and Mangrove forests were devastated”.
