Rain & Deforestation

Rain & Deforestation

A:           Hello! Tom. Now it is rainy season, why doesn’t it rain a lot? An on      the country the weather is hotter is hotter. Could you explain me about the natural phenomena?

B:           Hi! Jerry. The weather changes from day to day because we have been cutting a lot of trees. The forest around the world has been cutting down from 60 to 70 percent.

A:           What will happen in the future if our forest is disappeared?

B:           If our forest is depleted, the environment can become dangerous, unbalance, resulting in drought to flood and then our economies can collapse. As you know! Deforestation can lead to drought, flood and other disastrous consequence. So, we have to stop cutting the trees immediately.

A:           If our forest is disappeared, does our Royal Government have to take care of this deforestation?

B:           Yes, of course. You know! The Gov’t has passed an important law to condemn illegal traders. But this crackdown measure is not effective yet.

A:           What crackdown measure should they take to conserve the remaining forest?

B:           In my view, Gov’t has to take a strong action against anarchic loggers and particularly, we have to demolish all illegal sawmills.

A:           You said that trees have interest for construction material, so if the Gov’t stop cutting the trees, what can we do for local consumption? The wood will be increased.

B:           You still misunderstand! You know, Trees consumption and exploitation must be limited. You see, some countries have used their timber in a way that maintains their natural resources.

A:           What should we put blame on?

B:           It is a big and unpardonable mistake. I think you ate clever enough to weigh what is right and what is wrong and whose mistakes. You know, who should be responsible in a family if children become gangsters?

A:           Do you want to put blame on Gov’t?

B:           It might be that! But I don’t know and we cannot speak without any proofs.

A:           I think you are clever as you can see the proverb” Do in Rome as the Roman do”.

B:           Yes, of course. I am clever since I was born. You just know!

A:           In the name of citizen of Cambodia, are you afraid of losing our forest?

B:           Yes, I am . But I don’t know how to do. My spit is not salty.

A:           Do you think of national interests more than personal interests?

B:           I would rather not say. Some leaders don’t have any national conscience, but I do. Some leaders take care of their nation, and so do I.
