East Penan

 * Vigorous resistance majority of blockades

West Penan

 * Worked in logging camps but still were unhappy with logging

Kelabit

 * Highland people, no immediate threat therefore little resistance. Now territory threatened, community is split on reaction
 * Urban - think blockades only serve to annoy the government
 * Rural - Scared to participate due to arrests/feel unqualified to resist the modern system. Often delegate resistance to urban population which may have different concerns than the rural populations (timber road access for cheap delivery of modern supplies (fuel))

Subsistence
A major part of the local diet is the sago palm which grows on steep slopes which the logging roads are often built on, this construction causes landslides and destruction of the crops. The logging activity also causes influxes of sediment into the rivers, making cleaning the sago. This influx of sediment also makes it difficult to find clean drinking water or fish as this disrupts their habitats and can kill fish.

Hunting
Many of the locals have complained that the trees they harvest poison from in order to hunt have been cut down without being harvested for timber products. The logging activities have also driven many of the wildlife they hunt from the area and has destroyed the habitats where they would settle. There has also been complaints of loggers using shotguns to hunt further pressuring the local wildlife.

Economical
Another local crop that is being destroyed is the rattan, which is a principal source of fiat currency for many local indigenous people.

Cultural
The Penan people also bury their dead on the mountain slopes which are impacted by road construction, leading many to complain about destroyed graves.
