Malaysian indigenous communities are hopeful of the registration dispute Environmental News

The indigenous people of the Malaysian state of Sarawa on the island of Borneo hope that what the Samling Group has prevented from attempting – covering a forest area the size of Luxembourg – are finally being taken seriously after the country’s wood security commission ordered a mediation of the conflict. one year after the plan was denounced. The Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC) has taken steps to ensure that 36 indigenous communities in the Upper Limbang and Baram regions of Sarawak and Baram regions have secured two registration concessions for their alleged errors. The conflict is related to two concession cuts in the two Forest Management Units (FMU): 148,305 hectares (366,469 hectares) in Gerenai FMU, located in Baram Garaia and 117,941 hectares (292,438 hectares) in Ravenscourt FMU in Upper Limbang.

Listening to communities must go beyond ticking compliance boxes , says Peter Kallang, a Kenyah leader

The Malaysian state of Sarawak was until recently home to some of the last nomadic peoples of Borneo, who roamed its wild and rich rainforests as they had done since time immemorial. Starting in the early 1980s, industrial logging companies moved deep into Sarawak’s hinterland, tearing down forests, forcing forest peoples from their traditional lands, and laying the groundwork for large-scale conversion of biodiverse ecosystems into monoculture plantations. Sarawak’s Indigenous peoples put up resistance against these state-backed incursions into their traditional territories. One of the most dramatic outcomes of these efforts came in 2016, when the Chief Minister of Sarawak cancelled the Baram mega-dam project.
