Guest: Celine Lim (Managing Director), Save Rivers
For years, Indigenous communities in Sarawak have fought to protect their ancestral lands from unsustainable logging, challenging industry practices and certification schemes that failed to recognise their rights. Their persistence has led to a victory that saw contested logging concessions lose their certification, marking a turning point in the push for stronger protections. We speak with Celine Lim, Managing Director of Save Rivers, to find out more how the Stop The Chop campaign played a huge part in this, and what this latest update means for community-led conservation. We also discuss the flaws in Malaysia’s timber certification system, and what’s next in the fight for Indigenous land rights.
