KUCHING, April 1, 2016 - The unanticipated decision by Chief
Minister Adenan Satem to revoke the
gazettement for land earmarked for the Baram dam site and reservoir has been
commended by indigenous leaders around the world.
“The decision to halt the construction of the Baram dam
is timely with the mounting evidence that the unpredictable and extreme weather
caused by climate change would further increase the cost and reduce the
benefits of mega dams.
