The document discusses the importance of saving rainforests and the threats they face. It notes that rainforests support much of the world's biodiversity and that deforestation rates have been high, with over half of Borneo's forests lost since 1950. The document advocates for reducing deforestation by curbing practices like cattle ranching and palm oil production that contribute to forest loss, and increasing reforestation and sustainable harvesting of rainforest resources.
