Autorenporträt
KC Ling was born in Tatau, a small rural town, and now lives in Miri City, Sarawak, Borneo. He took up forestry and graduated from Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (renamed Universiti Putra Malaysia) in 1981. After graduation, he went to seek work and adventure in Sabah when logging in Sabah was at its peak. He returned to Miri in 1986 and continued to work in the forestry sector since then. He has an insider's perspective on the trends and development issues of forestry in Sarawak. His empathy with the local community and affinity for nature was due to his rural boyhood mixing with children of other ethnic groups and roaming around the nearby river and jungle. Laing Imang, his co-author, was born in Long Bemang, a Kayan settlement in the interior of Baram, Sarawak, Borneo. He is a trained forest surveyor and has worked closely with KC Ling in the same timber company for more than two decades. Both have shared experiences in their course of engaging with the local communities and trekking in the jungle of Borneo.
