Earth Alarm - Doe mee

Help de Penan in Maleisië hun strijd tegen de boskap Een inheemse bevolkingsgroep in Maleisië, de Penan, probeert met blokkades hun bos te beschermen tegen oprukkende houtkappers. Vraag de Maleisische ambassade om de Penan te ondersteunen in hun eisen om hun rechten te respecteren en een einde te maken aan de massale houtkap.
Dear Ambassador, Recently, the Penan erected blockades in several places in Sarawak to halt large companies from transporting logs from their traditional territories. Deforestation and forest degradation is a huge threat for the Penan and many other indigenous peoples in Malaysia, because they depend on these forests for their livelihoods. Deforestation also threatens many plant and animal species and leads to an increase in CO2 emissions. Trade in timber and palm oil are the main drivers of deforestation in Sarawak. The Netherlands is a key importer of both timber and palm oil, as well as the leading negotiator for the EU regarding an agreement with Malaysia to control illegal logging. The conflict in Sarawak concerning native customary rights has been going on for decades. Therefore I am writing to ask that you do everything in your power to solve this conflict peacefully. The lands of the indigenous peoples should be demarcated and their native customary rights respected in line with both Malaysian and international law. We urge you to ensure these rights are respected in the upcoming agreement between your country and the European Union on legal timber trade. Only then can a sustainable future for the forests and peoples of Sarawak be secured. Yours sincerely,
