Live with Dayaks, magical moments ….
TRAVEL ECO TRIP !
Committed to an Eco Responsible approach, we propose an eco-participatory stay whose objective is to contribute to the protection of the Dayak people. The ancestral lands of Dayak are under increasing pressure – huge oil palm plantations, mining, timber industry – to the point that the Dayaks are seriously threatened by the destruction of their habitat, the primary forest. The Dayaks are the soul of the Kalimantan Forest as the saying goes « no Dayak without forest, no forest without Dayak »! Through this stay, you will participate in the daily life of a village Dayak in the middle of the forest.
Your trip will help to finance the actions of the Dayakology Institute, which helps indigenous people to defend their rights, particularly those of the rights to lands and natural resources, and to fight against the planting of oil palms and against the expansion of mines. Beyond the trip, you will leave a positive footprint !
