Kalimantan is the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo. It covers 73% of the island's area. The non-Indonesian parts of Borneo are Brunei and East Malaysia or Malaysian Borneo. Malaysian Borneo is divided into the states of Sabah and Sarawak. In Indonesia, ’Kalimantan’ refers to the whole island of Borneo.
Borneo is the world’s third largest island, and a place of one millionyear-old rainforests, wetland mangroves, high mountains, white sandy beaches and bustling biodiversity.
Borneo is home to some of the planet’s most ancient rainforests.
The forests of Borneo, home to proboscis monkeys, sun bears, orangutans, clouded leopards, hornbill birds, Borneo pygmy elephants and flying fox bats, are among the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems. But in the last century, this enormous island has lost a significant portion of its forests to fire, illegal logging and the expansion of palm oil and pulpwood plantations. This is threatening the endemic flora and fauna as well as the livelihoods of indigenous communities.
