Borneo

Borneo is the third-largest island in the world, located in Southeast Asia. It is divided among three countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. Borneo is known for its rich biodiversity, including unique wildlife like orangutans and pygmy elephants, and its vast rainforests, which are among the oldest in the world. The island has a diverse range of cultures and ethnic groups, reflecting its history and geography. Borneo faces significant environmental challenges, such as deforestation and habitat loss, largely due to logging and palm oil plantations, which impact both its ecosystems and indigenous communities.
