## Forest Management, Borneo

This image illustrates systematic extraction of timber. The felled areas are shown with sharp geometric boundaries. The primary forest is dark red. Areas in lighter shades of red indicate secondary growth at different levels. Bare, recently cleared plots are in bluish-grey. A spotted appearance indicates the early stage of new vegetative growth. Two points emerge from this image: the cyclic nature of timber extraction, and how long such plots stay unvegetated.
