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!
