Biography

Gerald "Gerry" Flynn is a British freelance journalist who has been based in Southeast Asia since 2017 and in the years that have passed he has extensively covered developments in Cambodia and the region. The intensifying climate crisis led him to focus his work on the interlinked environmental and social issues associated with development. Unfortunately, his reporting on environmental crime led the Cambodian government to permanently ban Flynn in 2025. He currently resides in Bangkok, Thailand and is continuing to cover environmental issues across Southeast Asia for Mongabay.
