Illegal logging is destroying the equatorial rain forests of Indonesian Borneo, bringing the island, once known as the lungs of Asia, to the brink of an ecological disaster. The illegal timber is turned into plywood and is exported to other parts of Asia. It is also used to build furniture for Japanese, European and U.S. markets. The island of Kalimantan's valuable old growth, called meranti (Philippine mahogany), is used for hardwood flooring and provides wood trim for luxury automobiles.

  • hey attention

    hey guys, dont think about punishment!
    you guys wouldnt be like today if they didnt cut down the trees.
    how you build your house? how u have your furniture?
    soon i will be like that in the video.. the truth, we cut down the trees and make another forest which more useful for us, more productif.. if you learn Biology in middle school, u must be know that trees have some ages. We only cut down trees that old enough and non productif, because cutting the young trees only waste cost.. then we grow another young trees to exchange the old one. thx.
