Borneo Pulp: The Destruction of the Forest

By John Francis Kinsella

Over the course of the last three decades the Indonesian rainforests have been relentlessly destroyed by loggers to provide wood for furniture, chopsticks, paper pulp and land for oil palm plantations. Wild life habitat has been destroyed and forest peoples have lost their ancestral homes as industrialists and loggers have grown rich.Corrupt politicians have condoned this wanton destruction in the name of growth and development.Borneo Pulp tells the story of how ruthless businessmen planned to build a pulp mill in the middle of Borneo's rainforests with little of no regard to the damage it would wreak on the natural environment.
