Yeak Laom (Khmer: យក្សឡោម) is a commune (khum) in the Banlung Municipality of the Ratanakiri Province in northeastern Cambodia. It has a population of 1,855.[1][2]
On May 2, 2008, the Ratanakiri provincial governor granted a 1,250-acre (5.1 km2), 90-year lease to BVB Investment to develop a tourist attraction site on Youl Mountain in the commune including parts of the indigenous Phnom, Sil, and Lapo villages.[3] NGOs reported that much of the leased area may be eligible for registration as indigenous community land under the 2001 law. The affected indigenous communities were not involved in lease negotiations.[4]
