In February 2013, National Geographic published an article "Megadam Project Galvanizes Native Opposition in Malaysia", highlighting indigenous and rights groups protests against a hydropower dam in Sarawak.  The protesters alleged that the dam would lead to displacement of indigenous communities and called on Hydro Tasmania, a dam operator and consultants, to withdraw from the hydropower project.  The article also referred to another news report, "Hydro Tasmania to Withdraw From Sarawak Dam-Building Program", which raised similar allegations.    

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Hydro Tasmania to respond to the articles.  

In response, Hydro Tasmania referred us to this material:
