The Penan are on the frontline of a struggle to save the last unprotected rainforest of Sarawak from Malaysian logging conglomerates. In the words of Pulitzer Center's grantee James Whitlow Delano, the Penan people are little in stature, little in number and little in the eyes of the government.

Gentle former nomads, the Penan are now on the frontline of a struggle to save the last unprotected rainforest of Sarawak.
