Here are a whole bunch of sites about this particular rainforest:

One of the problems I've heard and read about is this (although I'm not at all sure it's germaine to this particular rainforest): If the people who live in the area depend on charcoal for their fuel supply (for cooking, etc.), then the forest is being cut down and burned into charcoal at a rate depending on the population growth rate of the area.
Another problem could be that people are clearing and burning the rainforest in order to clear land for some kind of crop (not always the good kinds of crops!).
You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

I was in the Malaysian part of Borneo in 2002, just a few miles from the border with the Indonesian part (Kalimantan). The smoke from the burning of rain forests was think on the horizon and you could smell it in the air. Malaysia does not burn its rain forests, and yet the economy there is relatively prosperous. Indonesia just does not seem to care about it. The people and the government have to have the will to do it, and economic alternatives.
thanks for all the help!
fail, i couldn't get the info i wanted.
The tropical rain forest aer home to over_of the world's species of life.
Finding specific websites or sources on a particular topic can sometimes be challenging, especially if the information you are seeking is not readily available. In the case of the conserving of the Kalimantan rainforest, you can try a few alternative approaches to find the information you need.
1. Use different search queries: Instead of searching for specific websites, try using different search queries or keywords related to your topic. For example, search for terms like "Conservation efforts in the Kalimantan rainforest," "Challenges faced in preserving Kalimantan rainforest," or "Success stories in Kalimantan rainforest conservation." This might yield results that are more informative and helpful.
2. Explore scholarly databases: Utilize academic search engines or databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, or ResearchGate. These platforms provide access to a wide range of research papers, articles, and publications related to environmental conservation. You can search for specific keywords, such as "Kalimantan rainforest conservation," and filter the results to find the most relevant and scholarly sources.
3. Contact relevant organizations: Reach out to environmental organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or research institutions that work on rainforest conservation in Kalimantan. These organizations often publish reports, case studies, or articles on their websites or may be able to provide you with the information you are seeking directly. You can search for organizations working on Kalimantan rainforest conservation and contact them via email or their official website.
4. Consult academic books or reports: Check your school or local library for books, reports, or publications related to rainforest conservation in Indonesia or Kalimantan specifically. Academic books often contain detailed information, case studies, and in-depth analysis on various environmental topics.
While I cannot provide specific website recommendations since my browsing capability is limited, using the strategies mentioned above should help you find the necessary information. Remember to critically evaluate the sources you come across to ensure their credibility and reliability. Good luck with your research!
