    Iʼve raised £430 to raise money to defend the rainforest home of Borneo’s orangutans

    Baram rainforest, Sarawak
    Funded on Friday, 27th January 2023

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    In 2015 the Penan and Kenyah tribes defeated the building of a mega-dam that would have drowned over 1000 hectares of primary rainforest on the island of Borneo, home to many endangered and iconic animals including the orangutan. With the support of international NGOs they want to create a National park, the Baram Peace Park, which would be managed in perpetuity by indigenous tribespeopl. However this project is in grave danger because a multinational logging company has obtained (through bribes and corruptio) concessions to log in Baram. SAVE rivers have now launched a campaign: Stop the Chop. As a fellow Malaysian and conservationist I am determined to do everything I can to raise funds for them. Will you help me? I pledge to walk 500 miles in the next 12 months to raise these funds and am asking supporters to donate as little or as much as they like. For every mile I walk I pledge to raise at least one pound for Baram rainfores!

    I’m an avid walker, a member of XR Walkers and a Camino to COP26 pilgrim. I have decided to put my walking to good use, and in the following year I am going to walk 500 miles (or die trying) to raise money for two campaigns, the Anti Fracking Nanas and SAVErivers. (MapMyWalk)
