Almost the entire jungle is missing the larger trees. In 1995 during an earlier visit to Cambodia, most of the jungle still was untouched, thus full with huge jungle trees. Now may be half of more of Cambodians jungle has been looted. Most of the looting has occurred in the post war years, specially after 1990-95.
Here from Beng Melea to Koh Ker temples the large trees are missing and the half size jungle trees of often burnt to make place for rice and other agriculture land.
