RimbaWatch has sighted an EIA submitted by Sarawak Energy to construct a fossil fuel-fired power plant near Bintulu.

The IPCC have warned that all current and planned fossil fuel assets are incompatible with a 1.5 degree future.

“.. environmental auditing is largely unregulated, as the auditors, who are part of this USD10 billion industry, are rarely held accountable for downplaying or missing red flags in clients’ operations and sustainability reports.”

RimbaWatch calls for end to plans to convert areas within the Chini Forest Reserve into timber plantations. The proposed project risks the forest reserve's UNESCO status, could negatively affect the tanah adat of Orang Asli and set back Malaysia's climate ambitions.

Voicing out to build something better together.
It’s not real progress until all stakeholders are included.

Last week in London, our friends at @CUTcampaignUK stood with us as we grieved the continuous destruction of our homes and the silencing of our people.
“Enough! Enough!”

[SAVE Rivers @save_rivers]

Advocating for even more Indigenous People (IP) inclusion in all form of trade schemes/policies that directly effect our communities.
Effective anti-deforestation & efforts to achieve global sustainability only works when ALL stakeholders are included.
