The forests covered by the Heart of Borneo initiative are very important to three countries: Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.
The area refers to the mountainous centre of the great island of Borneo. The forests here have indeed fared far better than in the lowlands and coastal areas (where the challenges of deforestation are well known) – that’s the good news so far.
