Marianne Runa Chiam
Marianne Chiam is currently a Senior Environmental Executive for Sarawak Energy’s Hydro Department, where she provides support for environmental and social assessments for proposed hydropower developments. As a former researcher (conservation education) for WCS Malaysia and current mentor and advisor for grassroots NGO Sarawak Eco Warriors, Marianne’s long-term goal is to mainstream biodiversity conservation in Sarawak’s development policies. She hopes to see the establishment of more OECMs in fragmented terrestrial areas where hydropower facilities are developed for the restoration of natural habitats and the benefit of Indigenous communities.
