At the center of the area known as Maritime Southeast Asia, bordered by Sulawesi, Java, and Sumatra, lies Borneo, the third-largest island in the world. This island is politically divided, with 73% of the island being administered by Indonesia, 26% by Malaysia, and 1% by the sovereign state of Brunei. Borneo is unique not only in its territorial division but also in its biodiversity. It is home to the oldest rainforest in the world, estimated to be approximately 140 million years old, as well as numerous endangered species, native solely to Borneo, including the Bornean Orangutan, the Bornean clouded leopard, and the Dayak fruit bat, among many others.
Following the signing of the Heart of Borneo agreement on the conservation of the forest and its wildlife by the ruling governments, more than 100 new species have been discovered. Amidst all this beauty and life, the feathered fowls fly above, a class of their own entirely. These 15 unique and colorful birds can only be found on this beautiful island.
