In Cambodia, there is an unusual effort underway by Buddhist monks to replant forests devastated by war and clearing by loggers.
This is important to them for both religious and environmental reasons. The monks, like others, believe that trees may help counter the effects of climate change.

The cool thing is when the head monk was telling the other monks to back and tell others the importance of trees, he called the trees “Preah Chue”. “Chue” means tree. “Preah” is the modifier that adds a holiness to the word.
Cambodia is beautiful! I encourage everyone to go there at least once in their life!
