<P><STRONG>Indigenous Forest Defenders put their bodies on the line
to blockade encroaching palm oil plantations</STRONG> in the
beautiful Ulu Belaga forest in Malaysian Borneo. Then, they were
hauled into the police station and forced to sign documents agreeing
to their own arrest.</P>
<P>It’s an outrageous act designed to intimidate and silence locals
just trying to protect their land from being <STRONG>destroyed by
giant palm oil company Sin Heng Chan.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Indigenous Kenyah and Penan communities depend on the Ulu
Belaga forest for their livelihoods.</STRONG> It’s a source of
traditional medicines, rattan, wood and palm hearts. The pristine
river that runs through it provides fish to eat.</P>
<P>Let’s demand that Sin Heng Chan stops the deforestation for palm
oil by making this a massive global issue that’s too big for them to
ignore.</P>

the deforestation of the Ulu Belaga forest.</A></P>
<P>Sin Heng Chan’s Urun palm oil plantation is sustainably certified
which is meant to ensure that there has been no new deforestation
since December 2019. But <STRONG>satellite data and footage from
drones (that Ekō members chipped in for) shows that almost 700
football fields worth of forest were destroyed between September
2023 and December 2024</STRONG> and it isn't slowing down. </P>
<P>One local described the sound of trees being cut down as the
<EM>“sound of death”</EM>.</P>
<P>Villagers have been fighting back against the deforestation of
their native forest – signing an open letter to the government and
corporation calling on them to remove their land from the plantation
license. And the <STRONG>mounting pressure resulted in a Malaysian
Senator calling for a stop to the plantation’s deforestation
activities</STRONG>. Now, let’s really turn up the heat and back in
what local communities and the Senator are calling for.</P>

<P>Together we’ve taken on big corporations destroying forests and
won. We supported Forest Defenders who were hit with a defamation
lawsuit by Samling for exposing illegal logging. After global
pressure from thousands of people, <STRONG>Samling dropped its
lawsuit and stopped its illegal logging in Sarawak.</STRONG></P>
<P>Let’s do it again and <STRONG>stop Sin Heng Chan from chopping
down the Ulu Belaga forest.</STRONG></P><IMG alt=""
