Story Hook: The Forest’s Watchman

A Dayak elder says: “The bekantan is the watchman of the forest. It lives in the mangroves, near the rivers. It sees the changes in the water, the health of the trees. When the forest is sick, the bekantan suffers. We must protect the forest to protect the bekantan. And in protecting the bekantan, we protect ourselves.”

“The bekantan is the watchman of the forest. We must protect the forest to protect the bekantan.” — A Dayak elder
