#News: Vast concessions in #Malaysia's forests threaten millions of hectares of rich natural habitats and risk the country's commitment to 50 percent #forest cover, a report warned Tuesday.

Up to 3.2 million hectares could be destroyed potentially unleashing enormous carbon emissions and compromising key #animal habitats. #ClimateAction #animals #palmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

Malaysia plans to give orangutans to countries that buy palm oil | Malaysia | The Guardian

Uhm, bizarre move

Malaysia Gifts Orangutans to Countries That Import Palm Oil #Malaysia #wildlife #orangutans #PalmOil https://www.onegreenplanet.org/animals/malaysias-unique-orangutan-diplomacy-raises-eyebrows/


This new #palmoil tool does not include a single brand from #India #China #Indonesia or #Malaysia, the four largest consumption markets for palm oil, accounting for the majority of demand, and, likely, an even greater percentage of deforestation due to lax due diligence requirements.

We're not going to solve supply chain deforestation by only focusing on global north demand.

You donā€™t often see outward facing seats on transit vehicles, but being able to gaze out the window rather than at an ad across the aisle makes for a pretty enjoyable ride! (This is the Kuala Lumpur Monorail).

I may yet post some reflections on my newsletter Movable Worlds in the near futureā€”but for now, you can follow https://instagram.com/emilydingwrites to see the photo journal I am sharing of my reporting trip.

Start here: https://instagram.com/p/CrNlh91pa2t

These two photos were taken at my first stop: the village of Mumiang.

#Kinabatangan #Sabah #Malaysia #Borneo #wetlands #mangroves


I'm drawn to places I donā€™t know much about and on which there isn't too much online. #Sabah has #Malaysiaā€™s largest expanse of #mangroves and the Lower #Kinabatangan-Segama #Wetlands forms the largest contiguous tract in the southern Sulu Sea, but I had never heard of it before. I was only familiar with the Kinabatangan tourists visit for wildlife-spotting river cruises. So my curiosity started from a very basic place: What does this place look like? How do the people there live?

...This is a reminder not to overlook them. Let's recognise the gifts of nature we have before they're on the brink of disappearing.

As we wrote:

"With this project, weā€™re attempting to explore a few questions: How effective have [conservation] efforts been and what gaps remain? Can Indigenous communities make a greater case for their economic and conservationist roles, so often underestimated and undervalued? How can local communities and conservationists work with the authorities in common cause? What does proactive, not just reactive, stewardship look like?"

I meant to post this a while back. Do watch this short film shot by Yih Wen Chen for New Naratif telling the story of how large swathes of #mangroves in Pitas, Kudat were cleared for #Sabah's largest #aquaculture farm, which failed to take off (along with any promises of jobs supposedly to alleviate poverty)ā€”leaving local villagers to pick up the mess and rehabilitate what's left: https://rainforestjournalismfund.org/stories/video-struggle-save-mangroves-forests-northern-sabah

#Malaysia #deforestation


Travelling in #Sabah, it's struck me how many #conservation initiatives are funded by #palmoil companies, who have been a major source of #deforestation in the state. I had also noticed many conservationists working with palm oil plantations, in part because they need to access them to better study the #wildlife that are increasingly found to be roaming there. This threw up questions that led to my latest published story: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/6/28/can-plantations-value-more-than-profit-some-in-malaysia-think-so
