Keeping the Baram Peace Park Intact

There is growing local opposition to logging in the Baram Forest, with the Baram Penan communities leading efforts to protect their land from further destruction. At the heart of this movement is the Upper Baram Forest Area (UBFA), also known as the Baram Peace Park. The Penan community recently delivered a petition with over 500 signatures to Sarawak government officials, demanding an immediate halt to logging activities by a logging company, but tensions between pro- and anti-logging factions have escalated, with many fearing for the future of their heritage and forests. Celine Lim, the Managing Director of Save Rivers, joins us to discuss this ongoing struggle and the broader efforts to preserve the Baram Forest.
