The International Hydropower Association's (IHA) four-day biennial meeting aiming to promote "sustainable hydropower" opens Tuesday 21st May in Kuching, in spite of the protests from tribal and environmental groups. Activists are fighting against companies profiting from natural rainforests and the uprooting of native people, as well as land and timber concessions, by Sarawak's Chief Minister, Taib Mahmud. Opponents of the Taib government plan to hold their own "parallel congress" in Kuching and other protests, aiming to bring a resistance campaign which was previously confined to the interior of the State.
