Malaysia Arts and Culture

This project empowers 30 community researchers to participate in preserving their biocultural heritage. Initiatives will strengthen their defense against competing global priorities for resources, defending their rights as original inhabitants of their ancestral domains. The project supports community-based initiatives: documentation of oath stones and other cultural heritage sites in Ulu Papar, and development of cultural tourism to enhance conservation of community forests in Bundu Tuhan.
