"For the Orang Asli land development spells destruction"

The Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia have had much of their land stolen for deforestation, oil palm and rubber plantations. In this Tribal Voice video, Indigenous activist Tijah shows us the devastation caused by this "development" and demands the recognition of their ancestral rights.

Tribal Voice is a project by Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. More than one hundred and fifty million people in over sixty countries live in tribal societies.

From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, Tribal Voice gives them a platform. They experience appalling racism and genocidal violence. Their lands and resources are stolen for profit. Their ways of life are being deliberately and systematically destroyed.

Here they speak out about what matters to them; watch, listen, and get involved.
