World's Most Dangerous Roads - Borneo: Jungle Trap
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2024
- 00:00 Borneo, the fourth largest island globally, has emerged as a poignant symbol of an imbalanced struggle against powerful corporations exploiting its resources, disregarding the well-being of its people, biodiversity, and ecosystems.
03:08 Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei collectively inhabit this remarkable island.
04:50 Armed, every resident of Borneo stands prepared.
10:42 Ancient beliefs dictate that spirits dwell within each tree.
13:10 Once renowned for headhunting, the island's inhabitants now live harmoniously.
13:59 Ali sustains himself by selling birds in the market.
19:48 Borneo faces an imminent ecological catastrophe, having lost a staggering 85% of its primary forests.
21:05 The timber derived from these forests is renowned as the world's most resilient.
24:24 Battling the downpour, he maneuvers through a treacherous muddy road.
28:11 In the Derawan archipelago, locals fervently pray that oil exploration will spare their idyllic home from destruction.
32:37 The inhabitants of this archipelago are affectionately known as sea gypsies.
35:30 As he traverses with a load of timber, the road grows increasingly perilous.
41:00 Logs are transported by floating them on waterways.
44:55 However, occasionally, the forest reclaims the land, erasing all traces of human presence.
Omg this series is so addictive. How is this not a series on The Discovery Channel. So much better than the majority of their current content!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
god bless that man who is planting trees

@Bryson Damien im just plain stupid. how did you do it?
Makes me feel more lucky enough to be living and born here in America when I watch stuff like this. These people need to fight for survival every day
Yes, mate.. i feel so ..
Eh...??!!lo pande klenger x2ta_?!?! how every did better sana gi nagih yg e nakxs ak sik ora opoxs 😎😎😎🤔😘😇😇😣😇😂😂😂😂😂
Onina..mi ta_??!! ono opo but kbr kbr q _____
These videos always induce strong emotions for me. I feel for the local people struggling to make a living. Yet the devastation on the ecosystems and wildlife makes me sick to my stomach. The orangutans will be extinct by the time humans have stopped the country bare. 😪
.....that's the evil that arises from making business out of poverty stricken class. Make them do the ecological damage exploitation by promising them fair wages when they fulfil the company's requirements on time. It's a vicious cycle that has actually no foreseeable solution.
There is 7.8 billion people and ALWAYS GROWING on earth (compared to 4.3 billion in 1980).
More people use MORE and they use alot of wood no forest will be safe in 20 years when we hit 10 billion people.
3rd world forests are the first to go with no laws ,quotas or management.
Because their government never cares about it.
@@redentorreyes1494 True.
Ignorance is bliss in a way.
Same.
Its very sad when my jungle always being explore with massive destruction
Wow ...seronok nya memikat burong ...
God must have spent more time creating the east. Awesome beauty
But men have done destruction to God's creation, and God shall punish men with natural disaster as reminder to mankind
No, God did it before your very eyes
Watching from the Philippines. Mabuhay!
Let us take care of our caretaker.
Bombay...bohay habis loe dpr ay...
Watching from Las Vegas, Nevada
Did anyone felt frustrated as hell? We cannot blame them, they are doing it for a living
I need to plant trees in my locality now on. Will start from 10 saplings per month
Be thankful
Itu tempat kerja q dulu di kalimantan tepatnya di daerah mentarang tahun 2012.... semua kawan2x q ada ter upload 👍👍👍
Interesting its similar to my hometown back in the days
Watching from Connecticut usa
Watching from Lady Gaga City, NY, USA
Watching from Tanzania, hit like if we are together.
Watching from Tanzania, hit like if we are together.
This is wat humans do best take from mother nature and don't give back 😢
👍🏻
watching from kenya great documentry but deforestation its a disaster to mother world.
I agree
if we caught any one chopping down the forest, we chop their homes and properties too
Agreed
instead of planting new Trees. mother earth will get a pig head.🤮
Kuria John Karina, I read somewhere that oil has been discovered in northern Kenya. I hope the environment will not be polluted like it continues to happen in the oil-producing region of Nigeria
Alabama USA here and that Bridge looks terrifiying in a big truck1 unstable to say the least.
Yaass, Central Borneo (Kalimantan) here
Hard to watch, makes me furious and sad, Docu should be renamed in "how we destroy our planet"
I agree with your conclusion. However, I would amend it to "how we rape and destroy our planet."
You can plant trees according to your convenience , complaining won't help
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Same 🤣🤣
Soon China 🇨🇳 will take over your forests 🌳.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣They can't
@@karenpoe3549won't happen under the blue
@Demetrius LaShawn ok we will🙋♂️🙋♂️
Once they start getting that oil kiss that island and that beautiful water goodbye! Its a shame greed destroys everything
facts
Poverty x exploitation from the west = what you see here.
People no longer care about preserving the world & its resources, its all about living for the moment
Yeah, but it's old information you got.
We didnt continue the Shell, Petronas and other west company their period time since we will take it back.
Reforestation started in 2013 and we've planted 4,5 Million trees.
@@hannn4063 replanting trees wont help couse when u cutting old tree (all 100 years old CO2 emissions from that tree released. First what we nead to do is stopp cut the old trees and find genetically modified solution like fast growing trees
Hi friend nice video high skill truck drivers.very dangerous track
I was born in Borneo, when I was a kid, I loved seeing orang-utans at the back of the house. But right now I'm 20 yrs.. never to see them play behind the back of the house. .. :"(
😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
kat sni biase ni😁 tp tu yg mncabar,, nevertheless such a nice video
as a north borneon it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful land be destroyed for timber and other resources. this needs to change
Sedih x rasanya liat hutan d tebangi
THE MUD IN BARNYEO IS QUITE BEAUTIFUL.
Good video...
Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico watching the devastation. Cheers to all my amigos all around the world. together we will build a better world for humankind
they flatten the curb of borneo,
In borneo there is 3 state. Kalimantan is indonesia. Sabah and sarawak is part of malaysia. Not to forget brunei is another country
😂😂🌐
Big deal
@Meri See Yes, Sabah is a part of the Philippines. They must know the history behind it. Truth hurts but it's true.
@@unicornvideocollections8328 what history? Do you think sabah there have no sultan? Let me tell you, the whole borneo is under sultan of Brunei long time ago, where you get the stupid idea sabah is part of Philippines? Don't you know when you get those name'' Philippines '' go read some history before commenting here
@@panzermora902 from what country you're from? Seemingly, you don't know what you're talking about. Ok, I will ask you something to start with your research.
1. What happened in 1658 why Sabah including Palawan was given to Sultanate of Sulu?
3. Do you know where is Sulu?
4. Way back in 1878, Why the British North Borneo Company has control to Sabah? To whom they are paying the rental price of 5,300 rinngit?
5. Despite of that, why Malaysia is up to now claiming that Sabah is part of their territory?
6. Do you know what Mohammed Jamahula Alam did why there's a territorial dispute up to now?
7. Perhaps, you may also want to dig deeper about politics, politicians and their intentions during that time on why Sabah is in fact under Philippine territory.
You answer those questions and get back to me so i could give you more. At least you will learn sonething to comment on other than what you only learned from tabloids.
Of course! There's a Sultanate of Brunei. Well, answer the first question so you'll know its participation on why Sabah was given to the Sultanate of Sulu.
Borneo beutiful,,👍👍👍👍
Indonesia should be prosecuted for ecocide .
miguel is enjoying this very informative
Watching from abha Saudi Arabia,,
Nice place, Abha, but not many hardwood trees IIRC.
And THAT is "Building Off The Grid"!
I love these documentaries but I hate the fact that they exploit the animals and torture the birds.
Agreed! I'm glad he didn't catch any, but it's sad there are none to catch.
The things a man must do to provide for their family. It's unreal.
Excuse me, since that deforestation we've planted 4,5 Million trees in 5 years
But still, the animals is gone, Orang utan, Cimpanzees, Elephants
44:47 nice clouds
After a very long time
I just remember when he say that bridge built by filipino. It also my brother said when he work in sirawak logging. They improvised bridges just to cross other side. And he said if you dont know how to operate machinery you should know the basic.
kereen
That poor bird is not singing. I think the bird is begging for freedom.. 😭😭
"6:32 drivers said Kelawit? Kelawit is the name of village in Kaltara/North Borneo.
i like that old nissan

The Iron tree will be used for plywood?
They only use soft would to build framing. You can not put a nail in hardwood. Hard wood is for Furniture and expensive finishing trim work.
Hard wood was great for structural beams supports but the invention of steel I-Beams and engineered softwood plywood beams took that over.
Inyong suka vidione
Each tree is the soul of their ancestors and they sell them to a foreign host in hell for a few euros.
It's easy to write such romantic bullshit comments while living in the comfort of a first world country.
Plant trees if it hurts you so much
Nice 👍
Borneo 👍👍👍👍
“Keeping your head on your shoulders here was not always easy”.
The most polite way I’ve ever heard decapitation described😳
Interesting but too depressing for me.When will we stop destroying everything! We will learn soon enough.....
I hope so,
In 2016 the last unpaved road in Kalimantan was completed paved with the inauguration of Tawau Bridge in West Kalimantan
After watching this video, I'll never again complain about the roadways the company sends my truck upon!
Wellcome to the jungle in Indonesia
They move the old wooden house to somewhere of the jungle. Does it easier to build it on location?
Honestly I thought the same thing. I mean it’s for a logging camp couldn’t they use some logs and chainsaw boards from them and assemble the houses? It’s got to be cheaper than paying the guy €500 to drop it off lol
Their lucky if they could build a birdhouse let alone a full size shed.
It tave 3 brain cells to cut a tree down with a chainsaw.
Running a measuring tape with angled saw cuts is another thing.
Man......just keeps fuckin' up the Earth daily, how long can this last?
Watching from Mars 😎... Earth look beautiful to live
The pioneering roads the connections between the two province west borneo to east borneo,

One cannot be tired and still remain focused. Not while driving a big rig in these conditions.

Do dey ever plant trees d amount dey cut...
That's called "Forest Management".
Only 1st world logging industries do that.
In Canada I camp and fish in forest areas that were logged 40 years ago and you can not tell it was ever logged.
In 40 years Borneo will be a rock for seagulls to nest on.
I think banning goods from certain countries is a good way that maybe slow down deforestation
Who's going to ban countries from selling their wood. Those same countries are the main ones who funding the wood cutting. Come on. Third world problems for first world resolution
What about engine compression to help braking?
More adverts please!!
🤣
My country Indonesia 🇮🇩
save in borneo
Maka rosak la alam sekitar
this is just now call "jalan kayu balak" 5:30 .?
44:45 I didn't see any forests being "stripped". It looks like they are engaged in high-grading out the biggest most valuable trees. Come to Canada if you want to see what a clear-cut forest looks like. Your claimed figure of 85% deforestation looks dodgy too, when I look at the country on Google earth and the terrain there.
Yup, Indonesia is covered by 46% forest, while Canada is only 23% with a population density that is 20 times smaller than Indonesia, and UK even only 11% covered by forest
Interesting. I've always wondered how the idea of sacrificing something to appease God(or the gods) came to be, can find this ritual across most cultures at some point in their histories (and even today).
I think the idea of sacrifice came about due to ignorance and fear
In just two decades Borneo lost 85% of its natural habitat equivalent to 2/3 therds of France . This is heart breaking💔. Thousands of trees being cut down just for a mere glow on your neck to show it off to your acquaintances
Thankfully the roads are shitty, the forest would be cleared out!
who's neck? their? they just do that for living
Same thing is happening in Amazon!
@@davidpethick83that will be their new capital, so not for long I guess.
THE GOOD NEWS.
We will finally get to see what Borneo looks like from under that forest.
There will nothing but one big clearing to set up the bird trap.
At least a potentially happy ending to a tragic documentary/
Indonesia??
IN TRUTH THEIR ANCESTORS LIVED BETTER THAN THAY DO.
All they have now are dirty clothes, a wrecked forest, and children who have no homeland. Doesn't seem like a good trade-off to me.
in indonesia kalimantan province
A Noble Man, he did everything for a living in order to make his Family Happy. Paying respect to this fisherman as my Father did the same.
Unfortunately without forest and fishing management they can not pass the work to their children.
When they say moving house, i did not expect lifting the entire house .
Yes that is my country
Ironwood to plywood..?
Yeah more like sea defence timber for wealthy countries like us in the UK greenheart groynes
In The Ketapang Forest West Borneo or Central Borneo, not sabah and sarawak...
Wow pinoy gumawa ng 2lay ahaha
Imagine 20 years old bridge made by Filipino's. ❤️👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
They need to put some brembo breaks 💪 on their trucks help em slow down alittle better..lol 💯💥🚚
even they use brembo the disk will stop but the rubber will still slip in that kind of mud
Soon enough there are no trees and animals left.. Sad
