The Baram Peace Park encompasses an area of more than 2,800 square kilometers of rainforest and community land in the Upper Baram region of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Home to the Indigenous Penan, Kenyah, Kelabit, and Saban communities, the native customary lands that make up the Baram Peace Park represent the last remaining unprotected primary rainforest in Sarawak. ​ 

 

After decades of logging for timber export, more than 90% of Sarawak's rainforests -- the oldest in the world -- have disappeared forever. The purpose of the Baram Peace Park is to ensure long-term protection of the forest that remains, as well as the Indigenous cultures, livelihoods, and collective rights of its residents. The three core principles of the Baram Peace Park are Indigenous rights to self-determination, sustainable agriculture and development, and the preservation of cultures and the environment.
