how can rainforests be used sustainably
Borneo
Borneo is the third largest island on the planet. About half of Borneo's natural forests have been lost and losses continue at a rapid pace. Between 1985 and 2005 Borneo lost an average of 850,000 hectares of forest every year. If this trend continues, forest cover will drop to less than a third by 2020.

what can we do to help
Make sustainable shopping choices.
Get in contact with your favourite brands.
Make small changes to your daily routine.
Donate money to help WWF's conservation work.
Raise awareness and lead by example.
Large mammals such as orang-utans and elephants are particularly affected because of the vast areas they require to survive. For example, the Borneo elephant has increasingly come into conflict with the expansion of human agriculture activities in its natural habitat.

Elephants are also getting hurt
Reduce deforestation
Logging and replanting
selective logging of mature trees ensures that the rainforest canopy is preserved.
This method allows the forest to recover because the younger trees gain more space and sunlight to grow.
