Planet over Profit: Walk for Sarawak

Planet over Profit: Walk for Sarawak

Join us on Saturday, 30th August as we walk from Parliament Hill to Parliament to draw attention to the people of Sarawak and the urgent need to pass laws that put Planet over Profit.

Why we’re walking

Behind the everyday products we use, from timber to palm oil, lies environmental destruction and human rights abuse. Big companies profit while communities in places like Malaysia’s Sarawak rainforest lose their homes and forests.

We’re shedding light on one urgent example: the destruction of Sarawak’s rainforests in Malaysia, driven by UK imports of timber and wood products.

Every year, Sarawak loses about 307.5 (we are rounding this up to 308 miles) square miles of forest, nearly the size of Camden vanishing every 10 days.

We’re calling on the UK government to pass a new law that holds companies accountable.

In particular, as a local group in Camden we are calling on our two MPs to support the new UK Business, Human Rights and Environment Act.
