Interview mit Rudolf Isenschmid

Via: Whatsapp Videochat, 11.04.2023

-Wann warst du bei den Penan in Borneo?

Ich war bei den Panan in den Jahren 2001, 2003, 2007 und 2011. Das erste Mal als wir uns auf die Suche von Bruno Manser machten.

-Wie kamst du dazu mit den Penan zu interagieren?

Interagiert habe ich vermehrt leider nur mit dem Dolmetscher. Er war ein Halb-Penan und er übersetzte von Malay, die Sprache der Penan, ins Englische. Die Penan selbst sprechen kein Englisch.

-Wie hat die Modernisierung den Lebensstil der Penan verändert?

Es leben noch einige wenige Hunderte Penan wirklich als Nomaden, diese befinden sich in den oberen Regionen. Bei diesen hat sich nicht viel verändert. Im flacheren Teil wird halt leider stark abgeholzt. Aus diesem Grund ist es nicht mehr wirklich möglich dort so zu leben. Sie kriegen von der Regierung Baracken und leben zur Hälfe in diesen und zur anderen Hälfte im Dschungel. Also einfach gesagt wurde der Grossteil der Penan indirekt dazu gezwungen ihr nomadisches Leben aufzugeben. Leider hat dies nur sehr selten Vorteile für die Penan, da viele von ihnen in Dörfern oder Städten verelenden.

Statusupdate "IDAF Media" for Podcast

As planned, I spoke with my friends about creating a podcast episode. They both said they would love to, and I hope we will be able to produce an episode on Friday the 21.04.2023. The podcast is called Lo-cast, and they produce episodes about many different subjects. Even thought they have a small audience, they have a few listeners which regularly turn on the podcast.

Statusupdate "Penan from Borneo"

A quick update regarding my project. We started with the IDAF and I have created my media planning. My goal is to be able to publish my project, because of that I intend on getting in contact with as many people as possible.
Additionally, I was able to do one of my interviews. Unfortunately, I still have not received an awnser from my other interview partner, so I guess I will not hear anything anymore. I still need to do the evaluation, but I am planning on doing it this afternoon.

Feedback " Green Roofs"

Hey, Daniel and Celine (and maybe Leon?)

It was interesting reading through all of the posts you have uploaded so far. It is impressive to see how much work all of you,  put into this project, you went into a kindergarten to work with kids on your project, you had an interview and so much more. Your dedication is truly wonderful!

Especially, the interview seems really well-thought-out, it is visible that you put a lot of work into it!

It is also really cool to see how much your project has grown since the beginning, from the vision and imagination until now! Keep the good work up, and I am excited to read more of your content!

Statusupdate "Introduction"

THIS IS NOT A FINAL VERSION

Penan from Borneo

The Penan are an indigenous tribe on the island of Borneo, Malaysia/Indonesia. Today there are around 10’000 tribesman left. Most of the Penan settled down and left the nomadic lifestyle behind, but they still rely on the rainforest for most of their basic needs. Roughly a few 100 Penan still live the nomadic lifestyle and fully depend on their surrounding for their day-to-day needs. The traditional nomadic lifestyle includes hunting, fishing, and gathering of over 300 plants, roots and fruits.
