BORNEO : THE JUNGLE CONVOY | France 5 | Les Routes de l'Impossible

Borneo possesses one of the last virgin forests in South-East Asia. A treasure that is making the fortunes of those exploiting the forest. Wood cutters and truckers come from all over Indonesia in search of the highest wages in the country, felling on all sides. It’s dangerous work carried out in extreme conditions. This massive deforestation has scarred the region to the point of endangering natural species and the native peoples who live there. Borneo, the fourth largest island in the world, has become the symbol for this unequal struggle against the huge corporations who exploit its wealth to the detriment of its people, its flora and its fauna.
