Choosing what to watch night after night the flicking through the endless

searching is a nightmare we want to help you on our brand new podcast off the

telly we share what we've been watching

Cladie Aide.

Load to games, loads of fun, loads of screaming.

Lovely. Off the telly with me Joanna Paige.

And me, Natalie Cassidy, so your evenings can be a little less

searching and a lot more auction listen on BBC sounds.

Hi and thanks for downloading witness history from the BBC World Service.

I'm Lucy Burns and today I'm taking you to the rainforest of Sarawak in Malaysia on the island of Borneo and a protest campaign led

by local people against commercial logging in the 1980s.

Their campaign would make headlines all over the world, but at huge personal cost.

Once upon a time all of Southeast Asia was carpeted in deep pile rainforest,

the lungs of the world, harbouring a fabulous variety of plants and animals.

Today, the best of what remains is to be found in Malaysia.

How could you not know that this is your lion? I mean whenever you want something you just go into the forest

You just go into the rivers fishing hunting and you know it's like our supermarket. We get everything that we need from rainforest. This is Mutang Uruh. He grew up as a member of the Kalabit ethnic group deep in the Borneo rainforest. The Kalabat was settled. They lived in villages and had contact with the outside world.

Their children went to school. But they were also in regular contact with their

neighbours, the Pernan, a group who were fully nomadic living off the rainforest.

They would come once a year or twice a year to trade with us for rice and

shotgun pallets for them to go hunting and we trade with them as well,

Saigo and meat and baskets and all that.
