Sarawak Natives Bringing Mulu Forest Dispute To Un..

“Mulu is a UNESCO world heritage site.

The Penans and Berawans protestors have sent an official letter to Unesco, seeking the intervention of the world body to get the Sarawak government to stop the forest clearing.

In their letter, they are asking Unesco to mediate in the dispute, as the forest clearings will upset the ecology of Mulu itself and affect the food, water sources and social lives of the natives.”



MIRI: The Mulu National Park natives, currently staging human-blockades against an oil-palm giant to stop forest-clearing, are bringing their fight to the world stage.
