	Located near Balikpapan, Borneo’s fourth-largest city, the Sungai Wain Protection Forest is an exceptional area of biodiversity. Roughly half of the forest remains intact as primary coastal lowland dipterocarp rainforest, supporting the full range of native species. Although around 40% of the forest was affected by the devastating 1998 fires, effective protection measures have since prevented further major incidents, allowing the ecosystem to recover. Nonetheless, approximately 830 hectares were lost again during the 2015 El Niño event (Sugianto 2017).
