An area of 4.400 hectares of the Mulu rainforest is currently being converted into palm oil monocultures; an area directly adjacent to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Mulu National Park. The affected indigenous Berawan and Penan communities were not consulted and oppose the project that will destroy their forest and livelihoods. The Bruno Manser Fonds (BMF) is calling for a moratorium on new oil palm plantations and for an immediate halt to logging in the Mulu National Park region. Please sign the petition now!
