The Battle for Sarawak's Forests
(Penang: Sahabat Alam Malaysia, 1989)
190pp. "Without the forests, we are dead",
said a native in the rainforests of Sarawak.
Malaysia. He is speaking for the hundreds
of thousands of natives who depend on
the forests for food, shelter and their very
survival. Between 1963 and 1985, 2.8
million hectares or 30% of Sarawak's total
forest area were logged. In 1984, another
60% (5.8 million hectares) were licensed
out for logging. Many timber licences
issued by the Sarawak Government cover
customary land of the natives. And since
early 1987 the natives have been putting
up hlocades across timber roads in a
desperate attempt to stop logging ac-
tivities. This book is the first comprehen-
sive collection of documents and articles
closely related to the plight of the natives
in Sarawak, and their courageous fight to
save the forests.

iniciados 10s proyectos de prornocion al
desarrollo en el Peru, quienes se encuent-
ran comprometidos con ellos cotidiana-
mente, sienten la urgencia de reflexionar
y cuestionar 10s avances logrados y 10s
lirnites de su propia practica. La experien-
cia que no se sistematiza es dificilmente
acumulahle y reacia a ser transmitida. Por
ello, entre otros factores, no se cuenta
sun con escuelas o entidades que se
dediquen a la formacion de promotores.
