This election was buzzing with discussion, as we demanded of our government the raising of minimum wage, control of immigration, and more accessible education and care for our children.

Yet imagine that you earned so little as to be classified “hardcore poor” by the UN; that the immigrants who came to your country ruthlessly stripped it of all its natural resources; and that your children had no access to unpolluted water, let alone primary education and care.

Tragically, this describes the common situation in the isolated and poverty-stricken villages of northern Borneo, where the world’s oldest rainforests are being torn down to replace food with paper and perfumes, and where thriving ecosystems become desolate wastelands.
