One of Malaysia’s largest timber and palm oil corporations
is logging on Indigenous land in Borneo without consent
and decimating endangered gibbon, clouded leopard
and pangolin habitats.
When a local, four-person NGO helped expose the destruction, the
timber giant slapped them with a $1.8 million
lawsuit to silence them!
We know it won’t end there. The family that owns this company is
worth $400 million – and has a history of using legal bullying to
shut down forest defenders to protect its
profits.
But if 5,000 of us chip in $2, we can give this small but
mighty NGO the money they need to fight back and win.
Their trial date is quickly approaching – can you chip in
Vladimir?

This timber giant doesn’t even need to win this case in court to
win.
It just needs to bankrupt the SAVE Rivers NGO
with an expensive lawsuit to shut down the campaign. That’s enough
to continue its unpermitted logging operations.
But letting that happen would set a dangerous precedent
against Indigenous rights, and be disastrous for
the many endangered and vulnerable animals whose habitats
continue to be wiped out by huge logging companies and palm oil
plantations.
That’s why we need your help. Lawsuits like this can drag on, but
together we can give SAVE Rivers a fighting chance to beat this
lawsuit.
Can you chip in $2 to help these forest defenders fight
back – and end this logging nightmare?

When the world's second biggest gold mining corporation went
after Maxima, an Indigenous Peruvian farmer defending her land, our
community chipped in to help her fight back in court – and the mine
hasn't been built. Maxima won every single time. So let’s
help four more people defeat another corporate giant at
their own game! Are
you in?
