SYDNEY — The Malaysian Tourist Bureau closed up shop for the day on March 24 rather than face a protest organised by the Sydney Rainforest Action Group. The protest highlighted the continuing destruction of the forest home of the Penan people in Sarawak. In Switzerland, rainforest activist Bruno Manser is in the third week of a hunger strike to draw attention to this issue. A ship bearing rainforest timber from Malaysia is due to dock in Sydney on March 30. For details of protests, contact SRAG on (02) 212 1132. Photo by John Duff.
