WWF’s conservation objectives
WWF aims to assist Borneo’s 3 nations (Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia) to conserve the area known as the Heart of Borneo.
A total of 220,000 km² of equatorial rainforest.
We will do this through a network of protected areas and sustainably-managed forests, and through international co-operation led by the Bornean governments, supported by a global effort.
The future of this transboundary area depends on the collaboration of all 3 governments.
No one country can protect these unique uplands alone.
Together this presents a unique opportunity to conserve pristine tropical rainforest on a huge scale.
Saving almost 30% of the forest on the world’s 3rd largest island.
