Contrasting information was provided by Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), Sub-Decree, and NGOs working on this topic. Please see \"Concession size reported by\" column to identify the source of information. 5 cases of ELC with different contract dates, based on information reported by MAFF and developers. 2 cases of ELC containing different information on contracting authorities. Contrasting information was provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), Ministry of Economy and Finance, and Kampong Thom investment sub-committee.

| Completeness |
This interactive map contains all of the data that is currently available to ODC and is not exhaustive. Projects or areas with publicly known boundaries are mapped as polygons; those without publicly known boundaries are represented as dots on the map. The dots are placed in the center of the closest known geographical area and thus do not represent exact locations. The development landscape is constantly changing, and there are also additional developments for which data is not available. While ODC takes every effort to ensure that the details in this map are accurate and up to date, some of the projects or areas marked on the map may have since been modified or cancelled since the map was published. Moreover, additional developments may have been approved that are not yet included here. Note: Publicly available information on land area cut from ELCs does not include maps or spatial data of excisions. Thus, ODC cannot present land area cut in shapes. As a result, ELC projects that are visualized on the interactive map represent the original contract size.

| Process Step |
The data was collected from variety of public domain sources such as the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), research institutes, company websites, and news reports. Investment and project information from different sources are cross-checked. ELC project maps -- if provided in the sub-decrees or other legal government documents -- were scanned and geo-referenced. Some ELC projects without spatial data provided by the government were mapped based on Licadho's concession map. The data in SQLITE format was finally exported to DB_TABLE and WMS that can download as SHP, KML, and GEOJSON files.
