Title "Transforming Borneo for Sustainable Development: How can we maintain economic growth without causing further environmental impact?"

-Abstract-
The past five decades of land-use change in Borneo mark an unprecedented, vivid example of land exploitation to induce economic development. Borneo, the world’s third-largest island in Southeast Asia, was endowed with one of the oldest rainforests in the world. However, the island has experienced rampant timber extraction and replacement of forests with commercial planting on a massive scale. While the land-based developments over the past five decades have substantially reduced poverty, these achievements have been secured at the expense of the environment. What are the options for Borneo to move forward? How can we maintain economic growth without causing further environmental impacts?
