Sarawak Background Documentation
The Penan are one of the few remaining nomadic peoples of the rain forest. Their homeland in the Malaysian state of Sarawak is undergoing one of the highest rates of logging on earth. Penan are also threatened by a massive dam project. The proposed Bakun dam will flood 70,000 hectares of land, displacing indigenous peoples and wildlife and destroying even more rain forest. In the image, a Penan woman working on a palm tree to make sago, the staple food of the Penan diet, children watching in the background.
