Indigenous rainforest blockades in Sarawak information


Indigenous rainforest blockades in Sarawak began during the late 1980s and 1990s.[1] In response to deforestation and land conversion of Sarawak's forest landscapes, Indigenous people of several groups along with international activists organised blockades to resist logging activities and dam construction. Penan, Kayan and Kelabit people are among the groups who participated. Some blockades were dismantled by police and some participants were arrested. Indigenous people have continued to hold blockades into the 21st century.
