Borneo is the third largest island in the world. This is an area extremely rich with biodiversity, with many endemic species of plants and animals. In just ten years, between 1994 and 2004, 361 new species were identified and described, with thousands more still unknown to man. Borneo is also the home of many famous endangered species such as orangutans, elephants and rhinos. Among relatively unknown endangered animals we can also find the clouded leopard, the sun bear and endemic Bornean gibbons.
Borneo was once (around 1950) covered extensively with tropical rain forests but an ever-increasing rate of deforestation in the last 50 years rapidly shrank the area of the ancient Borneon foIn Indonesia’s Central Kalimantan province, the peat areas are burning and emitting a toxic smoke causing untold damage to the environment, wildlife and human health.
Most of the fires in Central Kalimantan are blazing in former peatland forests, which have been drained, cleared and burned for oil palm and agriculture, large and small. The dried-out peat ignites easily, burns underground and creeps under the surface rests.
There have been nearly 100,000 active fire detections in Indonesia so far in 2015, which since September have generated emissions each day exceeding the average daily emissions from all U.S. economic activity.“
Indonesia’s fires have now razed more land than in the entire US state of New Jersey. Thousands of forest fires are raging through Indonesia creating a toxic haze over Southeast Asia. So what is the cause behind these deadly fires?
