John,

Greedy timber giant Samling is trying every dirty trick in the book to get away with destroying Borneo’s precious forests. Now, Borneo’s brave forest defenders are asking for our help.

After intense pressure, Samling has just been forced to DROP a sneaky defamation lawsuit against local communities who exposed its rapacious logging practices.

This is a massive win – but Samling’s nasty lawsuit has drained these heroes’ funds – and they’re struggling. Our friends at SAVE Rivers know the only way to stop Samling for good is to keep exposing its environmental destruction with cold, hard evidence.

Together, we can rush these forest defenders the money to buy drones, professional cameras, and other critical audio-visual equipment necessary to record and expose Samling’s shady logging practices. But we have to move NOW while Samling is still reeling from its defeat. 

John, with the Ekō community behind them, Borneo’s forest heroes can keep defending their homes against multi-million dollar corporations. Can you help?

Borneo’s forests are some of the most biodiverse areas on the planet, home to Indigenous communities and threatened wildlife species like the beautiful clouded leopard and the sun bear. But they’re in crisis – vast swathes of forest have been decimated over the last few decades and the survival of local communities is under threat.

Indigenous communities have been exposing Samling’s ruinous logging practices for years with clever tactics, collecting photos, videos and satellite images. Thanks to their fearless work, Samling has already lost the right to log an area in Borneo the size of Los Angeles, and its certificate for sustainable forest management is under investigation!

Samling’s failure to bankrupt and silence these heroes shows that intimidation tactics just don’t stack up in the face of collective people power.

We demonstrated our might when tens of thousands of us demanded Samling drop its nasty lawsuit, chipped in to help fund these heroes’ legal costs, and sent messages straight to Samling’s CEO – and it’s working!

But Borneo’s forest defenders are operating on extremely limited resources to keep documenting Samling’s destruction – and Samling is counting on this to get away with its abuse. 

John, that’s why it’s so important that Borneo’s forest defenders have everything they need to quickly collect photographs and video footage of Samling’s activities while Samling’s reputation is in tatters.

We’re so powerful when we act together. *Thousands* of us pressured Samling to drop their nasty lawsuit against Borneo’s forest defenders, getting a multi-million dollar corporation to back down from silencing Indigenous communities. Now, let’s help these heroes continue the fight against greedy timber giants!
