THE VANISHING DAYAK

Interacting with people who have diverse practices, beliefs, life experiences, and culture promotes empathy.

​Indonesia is well known for its continuous removal of primary forests due to intensive cultivation of oil palm. Not only fauna and flora are in danger of extinction, Dayak tribes are also under an important threat of disappearance. The forest has become a source of food, water and other provisions such as construction materials and herbal medicines. This sustainable coexistence has been maintained throughout the hundreds of years in which these settlers have lived in these lands.
