The article "Promise of 'no deforestation': Sarawak's forests tell different story" by Jessica Merriman, published on January 7, 2025, in Malaysiakini, examines the ongoing deforestation in Sarawak despite official commitments to halt such activities.
Sarawak's rainforests have faced significant threats from logging and palm oil plantations, leading to environmental degradation and impacting indigenous communities like the Penan, who rely on these forests for their livelihoods.
In 2010, major palm oil companies pledged to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains. However, as of November 2024, only 12% of 100 assessed companies have publicly disclosed the geolocations of their third-party suppliers, crucial data for verifying no-deforestation commitments.
