17 April 1975. The date sends a chill down the spine of most Cambodians. It was the start of a nightmare that was to continue for almost four years at the hands of the brutal Khmer Rouge.

The Atlas of Cambodia project aims to provide a wide array of people such as professionals working for development agencies, government officials, educators and the academia as well as other individuals with high-quality background information which will enable them to better understand the relationship between natural resources and economic and social development in Cambodia.
