This film introduces you to the complexity of irrigated rice agriculture in Southeast Asia by focusing on traditional agriculture and the ritual regulation of water delivery and planting cycles on the island of Bali in Indonesia. It also discusses the problems that arose when development agencies tried to 'modernize' this system. The purpose of this lecture is to introduce students to the main geographical features of Southeast Asia. The list below presents 1990 census information and a few characteristics of each country.

    Extractions: Cambodia is in South-East Asia, and shares borders with three countries - Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. It also has access to the sea in the Gulf of Thailand. In the centre of the country is a large plain or basin, which is surrounded by hill country to the south-west (the Cardamom and Elephant Mountains), to the North (the Dangrek Mountains) and to the East. The Tonle Sap River connects the lake with the Mekong River, but strangely, the water does not always flow the same way. In the wet season, there is so much water coming down the Mekong River that it forces water back up the Tonle Sap River to the lake. The water levels in the lake rise by 7 to 10 metres, and the lake spreads out over three times as much land as it usually covers. When the dry season comes, the Mekong River has less water in it, and the Tonle Sap river reverses, letting the water drain back out of the lake towards the sea.

    Extractions: Courtesy Bill Herod The process of internal decay and foreign encroachment was gradual rather than precipitous and was hardly evident in the fifteenth century when the Khmer were still powerful. Following the fall of Angkor Thom, the Cambodian court abandoned the region north of the Tonle Sap, never to return except for a brief interlude in the late sixteenth century. By this time however, the Khmer penchant for monument building had ceased. Older faiths such as Mahayana Buddhism and the Hindu cult of the god-king had been supplanted by Theravada Buddhism, and the Cambodians had become part of the same religious and cultural cosmos as the Thai. This similarity did not prevent intermittent warfare between the two kingdoms, however. During the sixteenth century Cambodian armies, taking advantage of Thai troubles with the Burmese, invaded the Thai kingdom several times. In the meantime, following the abandonment of the Angkorian sites, the Khmer established a new capital several hundred kilometers to the southeast on the site of what is now Phnom Penh. This new center of power was located at the confluence of the Mekong and the Tonle Sab rivers. Thus, it controlled the river commerce of the Khmer heartland and the Laotian kingdoms and had access, by way of the Mekong Delta, to the international trade routes that linked the China coast, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean. A new kind of state and society emerged, more open to the outside world and more dependent on commerce as a source of wealth than its inland predecessor. The growth of maritime trade with China during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) provided lucrative opportunities for members of the Cambodian elite who controlled royal trading monopolies. The appearance of Europeans in the region in the sixteenth century also stimulated commerce.

    Extractions: The Kingdom of Cambodia is an independent country with a population of more than 7 million people. With a surface area of 181,035 sq. km and once a French colony, is the least known Indochinese country. Cambodia has a distinct geographical personality: it is a wide basin surrounded by highlands. In this basin the farmer has created a simple life - an original civilization and philosophy of mildness. After many years of war, people rediscovered the meaning of "PEACE" They started to rebuild and reconstruct in all fields. Cambodia is divided into 20 provinces and rich in resources, forests, rubber, gems, fish and has a big potential in tourism. FACTS ABOUT THE COUNTRY Khmers have called their country Kampuchea (usually rendered Kambuja), since the l6th century. The name is derived from the word kambu-ja, meaning those born of Kambu (a figure of Indian mythology), which was first used to refer to the people of Cambodia in the 10th century. The Portuguese Cambodia and French Cambodge from which the English name Cambodia is derived, are adaptations of " Kampuja". It was the Khmer Rouge who insisted that the outside world use the name Kampuchea. Changing the country's official English name back to Cambodia (which has been used by the US State Department all along) was intended as a symbolic move to distance the present government in Phnom Penh from the bitter connotations of the name Kampuchea, which westerners and overseas Khmer alike associate with the murderous Khmer Rouge regime. As a result of the United Nations sponsored and enforced election in May, 1993, the Kingdom of Cambodia is now safe to travel and tourism has once again become possible. Indeed, the country and Phnom Penh in partucular is undergoing something of a renaissance. Often overshadowed by the traumatic events of its recent past, Cambodia as home of the Khmer culture remains one of the most important and exotic countries in South East Asia.

56. Armed Squads Aim For Poachers, Loggers In Cambodia

    Extractions: August 15, 2003 Cloaked in camouflage, a Cambodian ranger kneels down, sinking into the heavy brush of the rain forest. He silently raises his hand, holding up two fingers; two poachers are spotted ahead. A slight rustle indicates his fellow rangers moving into formation behind him, preparing for an ambush. They ready the unloaded machine guns slung over their shoulders. Today's patrol is just a training exercise for the very real war against illegal loggers and poachers plundering Bokor National Park. "There are no less than 100 people, 100 criminals, inside Bokor park every day," says Chey. WildAid is knee deep in wildlife crisis spots around the globe: picking up the tab for programs protecting Siberian tigers in Russia; buying black rhino habitat in Swaziland; and battling the illegal shark fin trade in the Galapagos marine park. WildAid's goal in Cambodia is to help rebuild the national park system after decades of civil war. Rampant Illegal Logging "Cambodia is a country being reborn," explains Peter Knights, executive director and co-founder of WildAid. "Both their human and physical infrastructures were completely decimated by decades of chaos. Now they're starting from scratch. All of their laws are being rebuilt from the ground up, not just those for wildlife."
