Consider This: Science Panel for Borneo — Protecting Borneo’s Biodiversity

Borneo's incredible rainforests continue to face mounting threats to its unique biodiversity and ecosystems. To tackle these threats and challenges head-on, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei have joined forces to create the multidisciplinary initiative Science Panel for Borneo, drawing inspiration from similar efforts in the Amazon and Congo Basin. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with the co-chairs of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network’s Science Panel for Borneo: Professor Jatna Supriatna is the Chair of the Research Center for Climate Change at University of Indonesia & Chair of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network Indonesia, and Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr Mazlin Mokhtar is the Director of the Ecological Systems Programme at the UN SDSN Asia Headquarters at Sunway University.
