Efforts to establish the Baram Peace Park have made incredible progress over the past year, and we’re looking forward to continuing this trajectory in 2022. This Indigenous-led initiative will protect forests and foster regenerative livelihoods in remote villages.
The Borneo Project has been collecting baseline ecological, community and land use data over the past two years through the Baram Heritage Survey. This will inform plans for the peace park and ensure a grassroots model that is devised, documented and managed by and for local communities.
While communities are organizing for a sustainable future, logging companies continue to threaten forests with logging in the Baram, pushing for timber licenses that will damage an already fragile ecosystem and warm the climate. Communities are hard at work organizing to challenge irresponsible logging licenses and launch the Baram Peace Park in 2022.
