Tribes fight loggers to save Malaysian rain forests, but some welcome timber money
By Vijay Joshi
In The Borneo Rain Forest, Malaysia (AP) Like a slithering red snake, the dirt road cuts through the jungles shrouding an endless row of hills. After a tortuous journey, the logging road stops abruptly at the first sign of humanity: a crude barrier of branches tied together by dry palm fronds and a handwritten warning: “When We Say No, We Mean No.” In the heart of the ancient rain forest in Borneo, this simple blockade erected by a jungle tribe has become the symbolic front line in the battle to protect forests from a logging industry eager to harvest the bounty that feeds much of the world’s thirst for timber. |
