Fourteen years ago Bruno Manser from  Switzerland walked into the jungle to live with the Penan  tribe, an indigenous isolated native people. He adopted  their lifestyle and stayed with them for four years,  keeping an illustrated diary. Bruno found them to be the  paradigm of Rousseau's Noble Savage: good people solving  problems together in a social community where everything  was shared and no antagonism existed between the members.  The Penans are one of the last nomadic tribes on earth and  have been living in this forest - said to be 160 million  years old - for thousands of years. They are now struggling  to survive amidst the destruction of the forest over the  last ten years by Malaysian logging businesses. Ninety per  cent of the trees have been stripped and the water supply  is ruined. It is evident that the rituals and lifestyle of  the tribe will not last long in the denuded forest.  Deforestation has wiped out not only a way of life, but  also Penan history. Over the past ten years in Switzerland  Bruno worked to raise the world's consciousness about the  destruction. He returned when the Penans sent him a tape  smuggled out of Borneo which said 'Come back now if you  want to see us alive. If you don't come now there will be  no Penan people or forest left.' On his return, he resumed  his place in Penan society, but was being hunted by  Malaysian logging businesses and the government as a  'trouble-maker.' Since May 2000, Bruno has been missing. It  is clear that his involvement gave the tribe the courage to  stand up for their rights and fight back.},
