That is why you have a good chance to write your dissertation/thesis paper on interesting topic and make some new discoveries about the island.

We will just provide you with some facts about Borneo that can be used for your project.

Borneo is the third largest island in the world. It is the only island that is divided between 3 sovereign states: Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. The largest part of the territories of Borneo belongs to Indonesia and is called Kalimantan.

Borneo is famous for its rainforests and wide cave systems. For instance, Clearwater Cave is considered to have the world’s largest underwater river. Deer Cave is a home for three millions of bats and guano. The rainforests of Borneo are the only natural habitat for many animals like Bornean Orangutan, Sumatran tiger, Bornean Clouded Leopard, and some others.

The flora and fauna of the island of Borneo is extremely rich and diverse. Here you will find 420 species of birds, 221 species of mammals, 3000 species of trees and 15000 species of flowering plants.

The population of Borneo is also very miscellaneous. Up to 30 different ethnic groups can be found in Borneo. By the way, nowadays some of those ethnic groups can number only 50-100 individuals, which says that these groups may become extinct.

As for me, Borneo is fertile ground for the investigations in such a serious project as dissertation or thesis.
