A timber company in Cambodia is ignoring environmental protection laws by transporting felled trees by night from protected forests in the country, activists said on Monday.

They are able to avoid detection by claiming the felled trees are gathered from an area given to the Chinese-run Heng Fu Sugarcane Company in an economic land concession (ELC).
