So I'm very proud of the 2 reports that have been published. I hope more people will be able to read them and somehow lead to some positive impacts for the local people in Laos.

On-the-ground reporting is also difficult due to security risk and the fear among the farmers and villagers to speak against the powerful corporates and government.
