  • #MisiBantuOA | KAMY

    COVID-19 RESPOND Misi bantu oa #MisiBantuOA is a disaster response intervention run by youth groups; Shaq Koyok, Gerimis Project, KUASA, Diri Bumi Ecological Practice and KAMY specifically to coordinate and centralise the efforts for immediate relief to Orang Asli communities in Peninsular Malaysia Our targets are the Orang Asli communities located in the interiors and communities living by the fringes of degraded forests - all now facing a severe economic and health crisis, as well shortage of supplies due to CMO amid COVID19. Communities facing decades of environmental injustice and human rights violations will be disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and other future shocks including climate impacts. The loss of these crucial communities will not only cost us the fight for forest protection for climate mitigation & adaptation. Often understated, ethnobotany and irreplaceable indigenous knowledge aids in our understanding of the forest health and composition among many others— including our relationship with the earth. Based on the principles of #ClimateJustice , KAMY through #MisiBantuOA will refocus on how to increase Orang Asli community resilience. Throughout the 1st phase of #MisiBantuOA , we collected a lot of information and identified gaps in food sufficiency within the indigenous community. We also realized that women, especially young women with the child are disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Covid19 coupled with forest degradation and systematic genocide of the indigenous culture in peninsular Malaysia have eroded the food sovereignty of indigenous communities. PROTECT OUR FUTURE Seek for a GREEN and JUST transition to our post COVID-19 future!

  • KAMY 2020 Message | KAMY

    Climate Emergency 2022 On the cusp of the new decade, we would like to wish everyone a blessed new year and thank you for your endless support for the climate movement. The new decade sends a signal that we have more or less ten years before the temperature hikes up to more than 1.5 degrees Celcius. This will throw the natural systems out of balance, and as creatures that rely so much on nature – this posed an existential threat for humanity itself. With the way we are consuming things right now, without any regards to the environment, we are denying the rights of future generation to a habitable planet. And, for some community, that future is now. For example, this region is choking from a yearly haze crisis during the heatwaves, where the sky turned red in many areas, millions of people are smoking poison, schools closing for long periods of time etc – the haze is a public health nightmare as well as releasing gigatonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. In the north – Myanmar and the Philippines, extreme weather patterns have caused frequent and stronger cyclones, leaving a trail of death and destruction. Sea levels are rising, and as more natural barriers like the mangroves are disappearing, more coastal cities will be hit hard and submerged in the next few decades. The magnitude of the tropical rainforest loss has not only led to a biodiversity crisis but also the degradation of water catchment that we heavily relied on. As resources wane, people will panic, hate, and blame. And this, will be a normal setting for our future, and perhaps even much worse. Our world is degrading fast into a state where it is not habitable anymore. Everyone will bear the implications -- you, your family, your friends, and your community. For some, the crisis has already hit them, risking food and water securities that have led to social unrest. This is the tipping point, if we fail to act now, our generation will be the first to perish because of climate change. In 2019, we have seen a surge of people from various backgrounds, young and old, stood together amid the climate crisis. Inside this crisis, incredible groups of young people have emerged with an amazing level of passion and creativity, and novel ways to organize and collaborate. The young, despite carrying the heavy burden and consequences of inaction by the corrupt and broken system, have shown resilience, strength, unity, survival and most important of all: HOPE. For the past one-year, young people globally have taken the lead for a social change – asking for a better future, pushing for a JUST climate policy where all voices are heard, and even designing for technological solutions. Gone were the days where only people in science can talk about the climate crisis. The young people today are a new breed of climate and environmental activists, constantly rethinking novel ways to empower the people to bring about the system and social change needed to heal this world. When KAMY started in early March 2019, we aim to bridge the gap existing between environmental and human rights causes in Malaysia to establish that these two causes intersect and are evermore connected in the future. One of the common responses we have gotten is that the issue of the climate crisis is too complex and abstract that these groups simply felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of its impacts. We realized that emulating climate campaigns from the Northern states, especially from developed nations, will fail to work in Malaysia given the different socio-economic and geographic scales, and climate literacy levels. The climate movement also faces a monumental challenge to maintain momentum. As a small and new group, which is run mostly by university students and young professionals, we have to select issues that we can work best with our current capacity. KAMY will focus on two main campaigns in 2020; CLIMATE STRIKES and ADVOCACY. Our work is utilized by a wide cross-sector of the community including the media, frontline communities, schools and universities, environmental and human rights NGOs, health organizations, government bodies, and individuals.
