Description:Borneo and the eastern side of the Malay Peninsular are considered to be environmentally critical areas because of the massive deforestation that has taken place since the 1960s.

A wide range of issues are covered, including possible environmental endangerment in relation to timber-related industries, biodiversity, transmigrants and other settlers and the possible consequences of deforestation for global warming.
