A treasure that makes the fortune of forestry operations. Loggers and drivers come from all over Indonesia to seek the best wages in the country, slaughtering with all their might. Dangerous work carried out under extreme conditions. Massive deforestation has disfigured the region to the point of endangering the wildlife and indigenous peoples who live there. Borneo, the fourth largest island in the world, has become the symbol of this unequal struggle against the big companies which exploit its wealth to the detriment of its inhabitants, its fauna and its flora.

28:11 In the Derawan archipelago, the inhabitants hope that the search for oil will not destroy the archipelago.

I'm Indonesian and I live in East Java... Maybe, I'm one of the first Indonesian watch this... π For me, deforestation is very bad for our country... Mr. Jokowi and Presidents before him has try many ways to stop this, but, the company who depends on the wood price, still doesn't going to jail... So the deforestation still going on and on... The goverment also try many ways to make the ecosystem in those lake, those forest, and in that island become stable meanwhile remains the national interest in plywood and tourism... I wish could do it, but, I just a High School Student, so I can't do anything than give comments, criticism, and support... Thanks to this channel to upload about this deforestation and ecosystem problems... God bless you all...

Mindanao in the Philippines has done this already, and now we are suffering with floods and landslides. Our mountains now are also passable by typhoons, a thing that never happened before.

Di Sabah, Malaysia.. 15 tahun musa aman jadi ketua menteri, habis kayu balak ditebang, hutan diberi pada syarikat2 besar untuk ditanam sawit, pemberian tanah status komunel pada rakyat hanya lakonan sahaja sebab yang mengusahakan dan mendapat hasil yang banyak hanya pada syarikat2 milik kroni musa aman. Mudah-mudahan musa aman, keluarga2 dia dan kroni dia terima pembelasan yang dahsyat. Amin
