When the forests fall, it’s not just trees we lose, it’s stories, cultures, and entire ways of life. In this episode, hosts Nurdini, Soraya, Roshan, and Asyira sit down with Shaq Koyok, an Indigenous artist and activist from the Temuan tribe in Selangor, to explore the real impact of deforestation beyond what makes headlines.
Shaq brings raw, personal insights into the challenges faced by the Orang Asli, from land rights violations to the slow erasure of cultural identity. It’s a conversation that confronts the uncomfortable truth about whose voices often get left out of the climate conversation and why that needs to change.
This isn’t just about awareness, it’s about accountability. If Gen Z wants to lead the future, it starts with listening, learning, and standing in solidarity with those who’ve long been protecting the land we all depend on.
