The last nomads of Borneo | DW Documentary

- The Penan are one of the last indigenous hunter-gatherer tribes on earth. They are a semi-nomadic people who live in the rainforests of the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo -- and their way of life is now threatened.
Peng Megut is one of the last forest nomads who still carry a blowgun as they roam the jungle. Peng and a number of men from his tribe are defending their community against a palm-oil plantation that they believe has trespassed on their land. Until just a few years ago, this region was home to one of the oldest primeval forests in the world. It covered an area that was half the size of Germany.
Then timber companies started clear-cutting trees, and destroyed 90-percent of the forest. Forty tribes and ethnic groups, including the Penan, live in what's left. The Penan have resisted adopting a "modern" lifestyle longer than any other indigenous tribe in Borneo. They call their home "Tong Tana" -- which means both "forest" and "world."
The woodland is a central component of the Penan's identity. It is the final resting place of their ancestors, and represents the heart of their spirituality, culture, and history. The tribe's existence is sustainable, and the people live in harmony with nature. They hunt for food -- and the forest supplies all their other needs, as well. But since the mid-20th century, the lives of the Penan have changed radically. They still live in the jungle, but most of them have now moved into villages.

This is heartbreaking. When will humans ever learn? This is not progress if we are simultaneously destroying rhe environment and destabilizing communities. Sending my love to all these families.. With love from South Africa
says the one who has a wooden table
The greed of capitalism will ripped them off
It's not is its the corporations.... They have to be ANNIHILATED
@Nina Patel Don't forgo British East India Company and Queen Victoria and the Jewel in the Crown.
@Nina Patel lol its taib mahmud destroy our forest
Now this is what I call journalism
Indeed
@alpha TN k
Although it puts these people in danger by telling these logging companies that there is so few of them and only armed with poisonous arrows. Everywhere journalist do that kind of journalism, as in Salvador and else where, Companies send armed mercenaries to complete the genocide...You tell them how many they are, how desperate they are, where they are and they have no one to protect them. That's how Modern world has stolen the land everywhere in the world with the help of newspapers always ready to sell their news papers made of timber... lots of rain forest lost and their people sacrificed ✨🎡✨🐱🐉
It is a documentary first.
Second, they should have contacted the officials and asked their responses.
Sweet potatoes 🍠, and Quinoa and Amaranthe 🌾🍃, plants and quinoa and amaranth, and pulses, like lentils and beans. ✅❤️😬🦷💪. Very healthy. Vegans have 4% cancer and that’s it. We’ve got flat teeth. Long long stomachs.
Animal foods is heart attacks and cancer and high blood pressure, fat deposits clog your arteries... 51% death rate !!! Scientific fact.
I'm a kadazan from a neighboring state, really appreciate you making this doc about the people in sarawak
The only thing i know about kadazans is that we plant rice, i dont know much about my own history.
Did you know that kadazan and dusun is same but not same?
It's a quite heart-breaking how these humble and genuine people are struggling to save their lives, holy homeland and culture. I hope they will find a widespread support from the people in Malaysia and the government itself against the greed, money and corruption.
Stop eating cookies and all other products made with palm oil
It doesn't matter regardless the ones in favor of what's happening have all the fuckin money!!!
I live in the neighbouring state of Sabah..both our states are on Borneo Island. Sad to see people being displaced, habitats destroyed, cultures sometimes lost due to modernity. I'm all for development, but not to the detriment of people, especially natives. We see it happening everywhere, no exception here.
Not all development is good, nor is it all bad. There should be a balance, but I've seem more destruction and hardship in recent times.
I will watch this documentary to the end, thank you for bringing this story to the world. My late husband attended a short course at Deutsche Welle in the 90s.
@GOSWK TV Firstly, thats disingenuous and oversimplifying. Secondly, YOU don't know how statistics work. It's thanks to the tireless efforts of people on the ground , fighting in courts and encouraging people to take up the fight for conservation that the forests isn't 100% gone yet.
@GOSWK TV Irony is obviously lost on you. No idea where you cherry picked '90%', but go ahead. You're the one clowning yourself. Typing in all CAPS doesn't make your comment any more legitimate or authoritative. Trust me kid, I'll stay in school, since there is no shortage of idiots outside like you.
The guys feeding each other at 31:00 is probably my favourite moment, it just seems so kind and it reflects the tightly knit nature of their community. Just bros being bros
Its called sharing
animals do that too.
I'm Dayak from East Malaysia, and i hate when saw this happen to my ancestral land!
Same here😞
I am a person of white english heritage living on Kabi Kabi land in Australia. My ancestors in Europe and England have been very sick for tens of thousands of years... raping the children and women and men killing each other as part of a sickness which leaves children insecure and people unable to return home to their healthy connection with each other and with whatever were their more sustained and sustainable homelands... with each war, rape, conception out of place without welcome,... with each stab of colonisation more and more insecurity and unwelcome and force upon individuals and groups brought more of this sick addiction and ignorance and loss of life being together happy and knowing and havign and being enough. I am so sorry this sickness is spreading like a cancer across the world and has come to your ancestral land.. the sickness will kill all who are addicted to it's poison.... and the land will return to provide return to better health again. I am so sorry for all the animals and humans, in places like Burma and Australia and Central Americas and Africa who are still trying to just live happy with what they have and have learned. Modern humanity is addicted humanity... without a home. Please lets learn to respect the lands, waters, animals, spirits and learn from those who still know and respect those who still know. I respect the Dayaks, the Kelabits, the Kabi Kabi... all the naked and unashamed to be naked, al those with wisdom most people have lost... all those forced to watch so much horror, madness and destruction of everything that we need to simply live... We do not need all the other crap... all the crap to sicken and pollute and profit. Profit = loss... tragedy beyond bearing.... humanity cannot bear this, other lives cannot bear this... and the humans will break as we break the trees and the life.. Respect to all people still in the forests on boats, on rivers and seas.... don't let anyone take more homes and more lives! respect!
yeah.. without development, you might be still out there living like them. if you want to live like them, you know what you have to do
@TH-cam Speech agree with you mate.

21:07 Imagine how cozy and relaxing it would be to be there. No tech, no notifications sounding off all the time, no news from the outside world, no politics, no TV, nothing. Serene isolation.
True simple peace
Thank you for this. Being part of one of many small tribes in Sarawak, its amazing to watch and know that there are still some living the lifestyle of our ancestors.
It's so beautiful there
@@yamyams94 thank you❤️, it is. And because of the Rona, most of us working in the city feel so homesick not being able to go home especially during festive season 😭
That will also disappear.due to greed.
I hope your beautiful place will survive the greed epidemic
Hope Penan folks would create some sort of eco tourism into their lands. We would love to see and support their struggle
"What good is a polluted river?" Exactly! Do we really need to use these rainforest timber?? Thank you for this great documentary.
That question also struck me as very profound
Indonesia
Same thing as ruining the palm forests for palm oil!

I’m torn. Is it selfish for the native people to hog resources from the timber companies who will service millions of people..? 🧐
@@Walt2323 Is it selfish of the western world to keep destroying their land for western world selfishness, consumerism, greed and money ? Not to mention the wasteful generation we live in. You sound very selfish and self absorbed.

Hi how's is life?? Happy new year
why are you on youtube watching videos of your homeland instead of living out there and protecting it? Because you wanted a job. from here on out were expecting you to stop saying such stupid things
@@davidanalyst671 we're*. yes the classic can't have 1 whilst doing the other argument, very solid. Have we searched this forest before hacking it down? 130 million years of evolution in there. Kinda hard to replicate this. There are 1000s of plants buried in that forest, which u won't find anywhere else. N we're just hacking away all for more useless paper.

Stand your ground good people!!! Thank you DW Documentary...
Sometimes DW get it wrong but to be fair this documentary was good.
This is heartbreaking... Thanks DW Documentary for this wonderful documentary.
As a native Filipino speaker (both in Tagalog and Bisaya), I could pick up many similar words from the nomad's language. We can't deny that our ancestors are from the same people before the Spaniards and Americans colonized the Philippines. Another great documentary from DW.
our both come from Austronesian ancestors, my friend,.
dont let us disturb your peace,
Oo yung gubat natin mas sira na kaysa sa Gubat ng Taga sarawak. Kakainis!!!
Excellent coverage of this gross problem. Bravo Carsten!
Every Malaysians should watch this, especially the younger generations.
nope theyre busy playing tik tok and pubg hanging out in starbucks, they wont bother trust me.
Watch then nothing happen... Why watch it.
Borneo pp to be exact
They could try eco tourism to earn some income. Loss is doing that, they offer tree houses, Zipliing, tracking trails etc. It's a win win situation, eco tourists can learn about their culture, be with nature and destress in the jungle. Same thing happens at the Sahara, Wadi Rum in Jordan.
Great documentary, I always enjoy learning about cultures that are completely different than my own. Thank you DW keep up the great content!
Hi @Cleb Felm! Thank you for watching and your positive feedback. We're glad you like our content :)
The government of Malaysia should be held responsible for allowing and encouraging this destruction.
Yeah right..They should stop developing that state and play deaf when the people cried foul for progress.
@@commander1044 sad being you. I looked up Sarawak and with all that deforestation money, your country can't provide roads, proper schools, and electrical grids. Even the healthcare sucks.
indonesia and brazil are way worse
Hold responsible by who?
@@abderrahimmark im not talking about repsonsibility, im saying indeginous people in indonesia are treated far worse the powerful send their thugs to beat them up.
We can go on the moon but we can't find an alternative for palm oil... DW thanks for the high quality documentary as always!
you mean alternative for hyper-capitalism
If palm oil is more sustainable why does it need more land🤔
@@tonyfubu Exactly. there's no alternatives for money and greed
@@Noname-dr1jm genius
@@Noname-dr1jm because Europe always make troubles while we selling crude palm oil. If they wont buy, its ok. It's our forest not yours.
I've driven through the plantations before and it's essentially a desert: only one plant lives there, barely anything else can survive. It's desolate and the biggest reason me and my family refuse to buy products that use palm oil if we have alternatives.
Furthermore the logging companies will resort to burning wood that they don't consider fit for sale since it's cheaper than moving it away which not only creates large amounts of greenhouse gases but pollutes the air.
large plantations are quite literally a desert, but a green one. a desert where the death of species occurs because of human action, not the environment around them
@@danang324 Desert in his sentence means no diversity, only one thing where ever you look.
Just like a desert where everywhere you look you can only see sand. In that sense he means everywhere you look its only palm oil trees hence like a desert.
In this context it doesnt mean he saw padang pasir.
What is the alternative?
Soybean oil or sunflower oil also destroy the environment. Olive oil maybe a good choice, but its expensive.
We need to gather people and discuss about sustainable life and social equality . Oftentimes people like us are rare in the industrial civilization . Feel lonely
All of our social and political economic,environmental issues are the cost of sedentary agricultural civilization ,capitalism ,colonization ( globalization).
As i was growing up in North Borneo, i have witnessed the deforestation right in front of my eyes. Beautiful hills full of big trees and wild animals slowly filled with palm oil trees. During the night, big trucks carried big tree logs will drive through the roads. It was all interconnected with a logging/timber / O&G / palm oil company, corruptions, etc. These companies work all together to profits the natural resources of Borneo states. I cried when i saw there is no longer forest nor big trees in some part of Borneo.
As part of indigenous / Kadazan tribes, being in nature is always special and it is running in our blood. There was a long history that can be traced back to our ancestor. How we used to survive by hunting for food. As modernization and education happen, the lifestyle rapidly changes. As much as i love living with current modern lifestyle, we still taught to live humble and remember where we come from; to respect the nature, culture and the way of living.
This is a very bittersweet documentary...
@Clarice. just human greed is destroying the forest. As was said ,sharing is a survival technique, greed doesn't share , it will lose in the end , I just hope it wont destroy us all.
Yup I am also grew up in North Borneo and belong to Rungus tribes, when holidays season i will go back to my hometown but along the way from airport to village all you can see is palm trees hundreds thousands kilometres...
I cry with you. I see the same in Australia since 1788. Mad modern profit thinking humans sick and addicted to homelessness and no culture because home has been lost 1, 5, 100, 1000 generations ago.
Excess Kills.
Scarcity is Wisdom.
@Prison Mike no corruption destroy borneo
ive suddenly realised where all that beautiful wood,that adorns our homes,offices,courtrooms,hospitals,churches,schools in europe , comes from.
Thanks for the documentary
Thank you DW
For. 💖
It good to watch all this documentary,this good to watch different kind of documentary from different kind of country.Thank you for your kindness.
This is the life I want , simple , in nature, not in city, no technology, I am tired of city . I love Malaysia so much ！ No where in the world you can better relax than in Malaysia !
... unless you are the family with the disabled son, and with an easily cured infection. Unless you are living on sago starch, missing the nutrients for life. Unless your back is degenerating, and your hips, feet, knees, shoulders, neck and hands are in constant pain. Many in our own world would live hard lives and die hard, early deaths without the support of our "evil" modernity. Go then, Iulia, and live your dream. You'll find all too soon that it isn't much to live by; nor is it very good to die by. And you will die by it, crying for the things of life that you have lost. You have no clue about the value of clear,cold water from a source without a dead animal or feces in it. Or the value of simple things, like a single ice cold beer.
I'm from BORNEO.Thanks for this documentary.Hope this story can wake up people all around the world how important animal and jungle would be in our next generations. Protect our jungle from gone forever.

Shows the horrible and sad price and reality of progress
Progress only towards doom of our planet
I wouldn't call what we're doing to the planet progress. The only things progressing in this day in age is instagram filter, ass implants and 5G..... the rest is all being destroyed to supply these pointless things
you really meant capitalism and multinational companies. You're welcome.
Yeah.
I love how they always explain with hand gestures
their vocabulary is not as extended yet, they cry with the animals,
@@lunafringe10 no we just like explaining things with our hands because you can easily form it to be a universal languange

Excellent!
Jesus bless the Penan People. They are the true protector of the forest.
Amen
You're ironic? In Africa, missionaries gave us the Bible but took our land
Your name reminds me of my late uncle, Langit Bit. Penan people are simple-minded but they are very thoughtful of the forest.
Alas the effect of christianism will surely create division among them. Their beliefs and tradition will be erased deliberately their young adults will slowly lost respect their elders wisdom, customary laws and traditions. Surely it will come to pass for I myself was a witness of western world view against the traditional view of how interconnected the life is in our world.
@GOSWK TV shut up jihadist
Good to see this documentary but please provide some ingo in the description (year authors etc!)
SAVE THE FOREST, SAVE OUR TRADITIONAL CULTURE IDENTITY. THANKS FOR DW DOCUMANENTARY FOR THIS EDUCATIONAL VIDEO/ SALAMAT KADIYAW!
Great story. Learned a lot, i stand with them and hope the Malaysian government can protect them
It's all about the money
Thank you, I liked it.
God bless these people and their way of life. may they continue as they were till the end of time.
Stop buy Kitkat they bought palm oil from unsustainable sources
Thanks DW do good work, couldn't find any locals to narrate this documentary ?, Malaysia has lots of smart people, we're not living in the old world now🤔
How do you define progress if it comes with all these problems, especially where progress is a consequence of greed?
Very interesting👍 Thanks for the video👏👏👏. I shoot a little about my republic. Greetings from distant, cold Yakutia.
Someday they will realize how priceless of the rainforest which they were destroyed today.
7:28 - respect!
The man has grandchildren yet not a single grey hair on his head
Now thats life!
Really like these documentaries to see how other’s still live in this world. If they are happy there, let them be, they are not hurting anyone. Seeing all those tree’s cut down for money makes me sad, civilisation doesn’t have to cost other’s happiness and land. I wish them all the best & they are not endangered.
The forest is their pharmacy and market. I believe that.
Protect all Jungles, forests, flora and fauna.
Protect our mother earth and nature.
May all our ancestors enlightened all of us to love our mother earth.
My prayers and moral supports are with the fighters for forest conservation .
Forest conservationists run the tribes out.
Give there land Back to the people of Forest you now it there’s land.
It is the land of the people and cultures who respect it and know how to live with it.. and the waters, skies, animals .. the rest of us are sick and killing life within, beyond and between us.
Big corporations must be stopped
@Imhotep Genius any corporation that doesn't respect human rights and nature. a corporation that seeks only its benefits, it doesn't matter weather its Eastern or Western.
You mean one of the most powerful person in Sarawak, taib corporation.
@Imhotep Geniusblame the west for your pathetic immorality. Typical
Great people, I am so proud of them.
wonderful documentary...hello from sabah...lets save our forest
The people of the forest don't understand what is coming their way. So sad
Once again this is an excellent documentary.The problem with palm oil plantation is that it take a large area because of the big Investment from the big company.I support the development of the economy but it must be careful because of the environmental effect
Amazing
7.30/42.25 I have total respect for this man. He wont bow to the pressure to sell his land. A true beacon of light.
May the Divine' powers continue to bless him and his family, for generations to come.
The government of Borneo needs 2 do something about preserving the knowledge, language and culture of the people who live in the jungles that are their home and protect the rainforests. If the loggers get their way it will be gone forever and its value is truly priceless and cannot be replaced with money.
The world can be so cruel... Why can't we leave this peace loving people alone....
i salute with this guy more than ellon musk who try to protect forest
I really respect n love these people specially when they pay respect to animals they killed.
God bless

I once visited Kuching in Sarawak some years ago where I had the opportunity to visit a near by timber plantation. I did ask as to how the Timber industry in East Malaysia managed itself in a sustainable way. I was told there are designated areas in which are deforested and replanted ect though this seemed Sketchy. I did speak to someone in Singapore in this industry and yeah I was many concessions has been given out to bidders ( Bidding process is just as sketchy) in the State of Sarawak. For the rest of the Island of Sabah and Kalimantan (Indonesia), I think its equally the same. I hope things improve where there is a sense of Harmony with the Environment, the local habitats and the M'sian/S'pore Timber industry. If not call the local "Bomoh!" Meanwhile i will worry about covid and brexit here in the UK. LOL.
Most people have tried the sago plant seen here in their dinner. It's the pearls in your boba tea😊 the starch is shaped into 🧋 pearls for visual appeal.
These people could try eco tourism, tourist can learn about their culture and be with nature. Laos already offered juggle tracking, hiking, trees houses so that the pesants can earn a living in their own backyard
Wow new documentary 🙂
Their way of life is so incredibly interesting. It’s so heart destroying to see how greed can affect people’s lives. Why can’t green peace step in?
I wish some one influential could fight for their behalf.
Makes you want to cry.
Dayak people has been pushed away in Indonesia as well, tribal wars and micro-economic empowerment becomes their means to retain their homeland, however in Indonesia the regime is dynamic and change for better at faster rate, unlike Malaysia. Without recognizable seat on the government, Malaysia's Dayak may face a much tougher times. It is ridiculous to force the native indigenous people of Malaysian Dayak to prove residency and land ownership prior to 1958... Thanks DW! Please to also cover the Indonesian side of similar ethnic...
I'm from indonesian part of borneo. Our forest is dying. I can't imagine in 10 or 20 years later. How can human being so greedy

Nice
Thanks..nice documentary.. It my country.. Sarawak.. Borneo..
Not country but state
I hear so much Filipino words in their language…I remember my grandma had nose flutes& blow guns made from bamboo, she had calendar with tribal people from Borneo…my grandma used to tell me that they’re my culture & I always thought that they were Filipinos growing up…maybe they are or maybe Filipino tribes share the same or similar culture’s..they are nomadic so maybe they built a boat and traveled to the Philippines as well. I have so many questions I want to ask my grandma but she’s old and she doesn’t talk much anymore..she’ll answer yes or no questions and say hi to me maybe 1-3x a month and it makes me really sad when I reminisce about how she used to be..I wish I could turn back time so I can 100% enjoy her stories and knowledge she has and would share with me
Watching this makes me want to help these beautiful souls but it would require many millions of dollars and that would not be enough.
God himself helps his children. Like I always say "God makes enough for everyone but the greedy".
I hate that these things are happening i come from a culture like this(mayan) and i cant imagine if things were like this for my people all i have to say to these wonderful people is keep strong and if you leave the forest (god forbid that you have to) don't forget where you come from ❤
31:57, that 2 type fruit is very rare today. They taste sooooo damn good. I'm going angry if someone destroying the trees.
When money couldn't buy everything. Refreshing to see.
Go for it Penang people. You are the teachers to the world.
penan not penang. penag is an industrial island in peninsular malaysia :D
I've heard Sarawak.
This word means wonderful ancient ceramics for me.
It does not surprise me that business profit drives national and international companies to grab more land for palm oil. Questions is why governments (Malaysia, Brazil, Bangladesh, India, and in so many countries) remain silent and even take the side of companies when Indigenous Peoples, who are original inhabitants, are forcibly displaced from their ancestral land? More importantly, what can be done or have been effective in protecting Indigenous land, culture, and ways of life?
These Ingenious Tribes are the True Eco Warriors! 🕊🐬🌳🐝💪🙏🏼❤️
When you understand nature and nurture it.
6:03, curious as to why one of the last forest nomads would have the need for a wrist watch. I don't question the utility of a fanny pack (3:52), but what use is a wrist watch in the middle of the forest?
They want modernity but in terms of cash. They cannot prove they ownership because others settled there first.
Also they are not nomadic anymore.
nature is needed best school ever!
Not sure why is so hard to build a table for eating or cutting stuff?
Their nomad way of living is exactly the same as our tribe..in the interior part of Sabah..still exists as of now but most of the culture, language is slowly disappeared. Our small village now is compacted by estates surrounding,..very little land for agriculture..vast land has been eaten and swollen by large rich tycoons. Very sad..
