Tales on Iban folklore and wildlife to create awareness

Julia Jawi’s story is about how Iban deities are believed to watch over Mount Lingga, also known as Gunung Lesong.

IBAN folk tales and oral history on wildlife are being broadcast on radio from this month to raise awareness on conservation.

Ten three-minute recordings of the stories were produced by Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Malaysia in collaboration with RTM Sarawak, with funding from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Malaysia and Enlyst Fund.
