*[Enwl-eng] Borneo rainforest DECIMATED

[ENWL]

            One of Malaysia’s largest timber and palm oil corporations is 
deforesting huge swathes of rainforest in Borneo without consent, decimating 
endangered gibbon, clouded leopard and pangolin habitats.

            When a local, four-person NGO helped expose the destruction, the 
timber giant slapped them with a $1.8 million lawsuit to silence them!

            We know it won’t end there. The family that owns this company is 
worth over $400 million – and they can afford to hire high priced lawyers to 
legally bully these forest defenders.

            But if enough of us chip in, we can give this small but mighty 
NGO the money they need to fight back in court and win. Their next legal 
deadline is fast approaching and they need an influx of cash – can you chip 
in?

            This timber giant doesn’t even need to win this case in court to 
win.

            It just needs to bankrupt the SAVE Rivers NGO with an expensive 
lawsuit to shut down the campaign, or keep the case dragging on indefinitely 
to silence dissent. Either tactic will allow it to continue its unethical 
logging operations.

            But letting that happen would set a dangerous precedent against 
environmental activists and local land rights -- and peoples' homes and 
endangered animals' habitats will continue to be wiped out by huge logging 
companies and palm oil plantations.

            That’s why we need your help. Lawsuits like this are crucial in 
our fight to protect people and the planet from corporate greed. Together we 
can give SAVE Rivers a fighting chance to beat this lawsuit and set new 
legal precedent that protects activists against this type of corporate 
bullying.

            Can you chip in to help these forest defenders fight back – and 
save this rainforest?
