People say a photo is worth a thousand words. I say a video is worth a thousand photos.
Watch for yourself to see how serious is the deforestation in Borneo in the name of producing palm oil to feed human needs and greed.
I just watched the BBC’s Orangutan Diary series few days ago. Although I have seen these deforestations with my own eyes in Borneo, seeing the same thing again from my computer’s screen was equally disturbing. As what Steve put it, “We don’t have to do this!”
Every time when the presenters of the show, Steve Leonard and Michaela Strachan, mentioned that the habitats of orangutans being destroyed due to deforestation and logging, the same thing applied to other Bornean wildlife such as sun bears, clouded leopards, pygmy elephants, critically endangered Sumatran rhinos, gibbons, and many more wild mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibian, etc., etc.
Although disturbing to watch, the world need to see this and know that this is actually happening on the other part of the world where they watch the video from. We are living on the same planet, what ever happen on Borneo or other part of the world, will eventually effect us.
Please help. Please spread the words about the deforestation in Borneo!

What a tragic situation. Your Centre should work with other groups trying to stop the rainforest destruction, including the Rainforest Action Network and Greenpeace. All hands on deck, please!
Yes, this is tragic. This video only show a tip of an iceberg of what is actually happening in Borneo. Our centre will definitely work with other groups to stop these destruction. It make no sense to me allowing this sort of destruction and later put more money and resources to plant trees and reforest the area.
How many times can a heart be broken? I say each and every time it bears wittness to such tragic destruction!
We must stop the ruination of our wildlife habitats or be doomed to extinction ourselves. Why can’t people realize this?
Hi Georga,
“Why can’t people realize this” is the key of these destructions. On top of that, there are people’s greeds and people’s needs in the equation. Everything come to “people”. Yes, we people, is the main factor of the destructions.
To solve these destructions, it all have to depend on we the people again. This is time for us to unite to heal the wound of the mother Earth.
