Borneo's forests are some of the most biodiverse on earth, home to orangutans, pygmy elephants and clouded leopards.

However only 50% of forest cover remains today, due to fires, illegal logging and palm oil plantations.

But there is hope. A new CIFOR study shows that deforestation has actually slowed since 2012.

Satellite images indicate that the expansion of plantations has decreased, likely due to a decline in crude palm oil prices.

Regulations must now be put into place to ensure deforestation doesn't rise again.

Reforms in the banking sector are crucial, since the unregulated flow of money enables deforestation.

UN Environment is working with global banks on a new initiative, Principles for Responsible Banking.

Deforestation happens when forests are permanently destroyed. and the land is used for other purposes.

Common methods of deforestation are burning trees and clear cutting.

Deforestation is considered to be one of the contributing factors to global climate change.

It not only lessens the amount of carbon stored in trees, but also releases carbon dioxide into the air.
