Borneo (Kalimantan)

Borneo, also known as Kalimantan in Indonesia, is the third-largest island in the world, located in Southeast Asia. It is divided among three countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. The Indonesian part (Kalimantan) covers most of the island and features dense rainforests, rich biodiversity, and indigenous cultures. Borneo is famous for its unique wildlife, including orangutans and pygmy elephants, and its extensive primary forests. The island’s economy relies on timber, mining, and agriculture, but it faces environmental challenges such as deforestation and habitat loss. Borneo's landscape is characterized by mountains, rivers, and lush jungles, making it a vital ecological and cultural region.
