The Penan People Of Sarawak - 2

The Penan people live deep in the rainforests of Sarawak. Numbering about 10,000 people, the Penan are tribes of hunter-gatherers—they rely heavily on the forest they live in for their continued survival. Their livelihood, however, has been threatened by modern economic activity such as logging, dam building and forest clearance. Penan people live simply in small villages far away from the hustle and bustle of modern civilisation. Some live near roads or paths, and have limited access to modern amenities such as television. Living close to nature, many Penan people use rainwater and firewood for their basic necessities. Some are even still nomadic and move around from time to time. When a Penan settlement grows large enough, the Malaysian government may provide facilities such as clinic, schools, electricity and water supply. Some Penan make intricate handicrafts from their harvest. A Penan family that kept a cat as a pet was sighted.
