Swiss-based Bruno Manser Fund's revelations of Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud's billion dollar business empire is not going to let-up in 2012. |
After two decades of environmental campaigning for Malaysia’s Penan tribe (in Sarawak) the Bruno Manser Fund (BMF) is stepping up its fight against local political corruption.
BMF remains one of the few non-Malaysian organisations still campaigning on behalf of the Penan, an indigenous people living in some of the world’s most biodiverse forests in Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
Two-thirds of its forests have been destroyed in recent years for logging or to build palm oil plantations.
