Local education initiatives are providing hope, with women like Ungkin Bin Maikol becoming strong voices for change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the island of Pulau Banggi in Sabah, the indigenous population is increasingly losing its habitat: deforestation for palm oil plantations is destroying forests, floods are endangering harvests and many people lack official documents such as birth certificates or identity cards.
