Borneo: Unmasking the Truth ()

Synopsis:
Borneo: Unmasking the Truth attempts to expose the reality and corruption surrounding the deforestation. Using footage from various sources, our goal is to reveal the harsh truth on the very real threat of extinction for many endangered species of animals and plants.

Borneo is the third largest island in the world. This is an area extremely rich with biodiversity, with many endemic species of plants and animals. In just ten years, between 1994 and 2004, 361 new species were identified and described, with thousands more still unknown to man. Borneo is also the home of many famous endangered species such as orangutans, elephants and rhinos. Among relatively unknown endangered animals we can also find the clouded leopard, the sun bear and endemic Bornean gibbons.

Borneo was once (around 1950) covered extensively with tropical rain forests but an ever-increasing rate of deforestation in the last 50 years rapidly shrank the area of the ancient Borneon forests.
