There are not many places left on Earth where one can enjoy the spectacle of unspoiled diversity – however, the Borneo Rainforest is one of these. This extensive Rainforest covers a total of 400,000sq km and is shared by the governments of Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In this wonderful destination, one can enjoy the sights and sounds of still uncounted numbers of mammals, reptiles, birds, trees, and plants, as well as insects. This ecosystem has been around since time immemorial – however, it is today under increasing threat from a rapidly growing human population and growing demand for unique raw materials that are found beneath its rainforest canopy. The threats of deforestation, poaching and habitat destruction caused by burning for farmland and the effects of logging continue to threaten this unique island ecosystem – but it is still possible to experience the Rainforest in a sustainable setting.
