A joint venture between Indonesia and state-owned Malaysia companies is constructing a network of dams in the Bulungan and Malinau districts of North Kalimantan, a sparsely populated Bornean province bordering the Malaysian state of Sarawak.
Three new irrigation dams have been approved in Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, overlapping with two carbon credit projects. The new developments join five hydropower projects that are already eating into these same forests.
