Rejected petition Give native tribes a say in the laws against excessive logging of the forests
Many Malaysian tribes are being severely effected by logging and they have no say in the matter. Because of logging, the rivers are silted up, killing the fish and the game is being scared deeper into the few remaining forests, and the tribes are bringing home no food and struggling to survive.
More details
The lifestyle of these native groups are being uprooted due to the excessive logging of the forests they reside in. The logging is forcing them to be severely nomadic, changing location each week in order to find food and shelter.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. This petition seems to call on the government of Malaysia, not the UK Government to take action. You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to raise this issue with the government of Malaysia.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
