Mutang Tuo, Ketua Kampung Penan Long Iman Baram
*Profit over Preservation: The Samling Project Critique*
Mutang Tuo knew about the Samling Project (SaraCarbon) in Long Linai Marudi from Radio Free Sarawak and strongly disagrees with it. They argue that only Samling and the Sarawak Government will benefit financially from the project, whereas the Penan people, who have cared for the forest for generations, should be the ones rewarded for their conservation efforts.
Mutang Tuo believes that the Penan people are far superior in maintaining the sustainability of the forest compared to companies like Samling. They emphasize that the Penan only take what is necessary from the forest and do not destroy animal habitats, unlike the Sarawak government and the Forestry Department, which grant licenses for commercial logging and plantations, leading to habitat destruction.
Mutang Tuo expresses concern that the carbon trading project will restrict their access to the forest and make their lives more difficult.
