The Heart of Borneo (HoB) is the largest remaining expanse of transboundary tropical forest landscape in Southeast Asia. It is one of the most important conservation areas worldwide. Unsustainable exploitation of the natural capital causes unabated forest loss, habitat fragmentation, species decline and the erosion of ecosystem services. In 2007, the governments of Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia signed the Heart of Borneo Declaration. This agreement commits the three governments to one shared conservation vision. The vision implies a shift to a green economy (GE) that values and invests in natural capital, supports broader human welfare, and creates resilience to climate change.
