Borneo, Indonesia: The Forbidden Forests of the Dayaks
A short video about the effects of climate change on indigenous people living in the forests of Borneo island
Deep in the old growth forests of Borneo, the Setulang Dayak village guards its forest with might. To date, the village's traditional law of Tana Olen (forbidden forest), withstands increasing pressure from encroaching logging industries. Now as rapid development rolls in, the village is trying to secure sustainable and forest-friendly future, including a eco-tourism venture and carbon credits.
