 Background
the Malaysian region, are believed to be the oldest
and some of the most biologically diverse forests
in the world.
deforestation
Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of
forested land. Throughout history and into
modern times, forests have been razed to
make space for agriculture and animal
grazing, and to obtain wood for fuel,
manufacturing, and construction.
In Malaysia deforestation is a major
environmental issue in the country.

Geographical condition in malaysia

Singapore and the Indonesian Archipelago.

Sabah and Sarawak, the States of East
Malaysia lie 600 kilometers to the east across
the South China Sea. These two States, former
British colonies on the northeast coast of
Borneo, stretch for 1,000 kilometers to the
southern islands of the Philippines.

Malaysia region Borneo contains one of the

oldest rainforests and is a biodiversity hotspot
in the world. The Heart of Borneo is a
transboundary cooperation between the
countries of Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei,
and covers a 22-million hectare landscape of
conservation and sustainable use areas.

 The impact of deforestation for
animal
deforestation can have serious and far-reaching
impacts on animal populations, disrupting
ecosystems, and even leading to the extinction of
species. After the animal lost their habit, they
are forced to move to other areas or may die due
to lack of resources. In some cases, they even
break to human settlements.

Animal that got significant damage

after deforestation:
 elephants
 orangutans
 Malayan tigers
 Sumatran rhino
The impact of deforestation for
the water

Forests have been termed the “air conditioners” of the landscape because
they keep things cool by evaporating water. The evaporated water forms
clouds, which also contribute to cooling. If evaporation is not happening then a
lot of the energy that’s coming from the sun goes into raising temperatures
instead.
 The impact of deforestation for the indigenous
people
Who is indigenous people?
The indigenous people or well known
as “orang asli” is the oldest etnicity
that lived in malaysia.

What do they do?

The. indigenous people lived as often
nomadic hunter-gatherers for centuries.
They always search all their needs in the
forest. Such as food, water, and home
for living

What happen to them?

After deforestation the indigenous people in
Malaysia have loss their home to live. their life
become really hard. Some of them even died after
affected with chemical pollution that was polluted
the water.
 conclusion
The condition of Malaysia rainforest region has decreased
significant. After the government start to increase the
sources of palm oil rapidly many forests were taken down
by the government and replaced by the palm oil tree.
Many creatures lost their habit. It also affect the water
cycle around that area. Deforestation also affect the
indigenous people. Deforestation make all living creature
in the forest live miserable
if we won’t stop it the lung of our earth, Borneo, will
be destroyed. therefore we must preserve the forests of
Malaysia.
“Forests are the world’s
air-conditioning system
– the lungs of the planet
– and we are on the
verge of switching it
off.”
