MIRI: A native Kayan community living in the deep interior of northern Sarawak has won global recognition for its decade-long effort in community development, conservation of natural food resources and protection of forest biodiversity.
The Uma Bawang Residents Association, representing about 700 longhouse folks from the Kayan ethnic group, was chosen by the International Slowfood Movement as the “most impressive community association in Asia” for the activities for last year.
