Indonesia: Borneo  - Trouble in Paradise

Indonesia: Borneo - Trouble in Paradise
23 minutes, 2001
Ref: 167



It's one of the most exotic places on Earth: the Indonesian island of Borneo; lush, rich one of only two places in the world where you will find orang-utans, but there's trouble in paradise. Forest fires have destroyed tens-of-thousands of hectares; a drought was partly to blame. Mainly it's big business which is destroying the wilderness, killing animals and destroying lives. We see strong images of an eco-system in peril and the struggle to save it.
