# Borneo

Topography of Borneo
**Borneo** is the third largest island in the world. It is in the center of maritime southeast Asia. Geologically and biologically it is related to Asia. This island is part of three different countries. Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei each have part of Borneo. Indonesia's region is called "Kalimantan" (although Indonesians use this word for the whole island). Malaysia's region of Borneo is called East Malaysia or Malaysian Borneo. The independent nation of Brunei is a small part of the island. Borneo has a rainforest that is in danger because it is valuable. Lumber companies cut trees here illegally.

## Geography

Borneo is surrounded by the South China Sea to the north and northwest, the Sulu Sea to the northeast, the Celebes Sea and the Makassar Strait to the east, and the Java Sea and Karimata Strait to the south. It has an area of 743,330 km² (287,000 square miles). Borneo is home to a few of the oldest rainforests in the world.

## Wildlife

Borneo is home to a vast array of wildlife, including the endangered orangutan, as well as other animals such as monkeys, elephants, snakes, parrots, clouded leopards, hornbills, tarsiers and deer.

## Population

The island will have a population of 24 million by 2040 if it grows at the current rate. However, relocation of the capital of Indonesia to Nusantara may boost its population growth rate even more. The population of Nusantara alone had grown from just around 153,000 in 2022 to 488,409 in 2024, recording a very high growth of +219.2% in just 2 years.

**Blaise Compaoré** (born February 3, 1951) is a former President of Burkina Faso. He served from 1987 until his resignation in 2014. He started a political party called the Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP). This is the ruling party of Burkina Faso. Compaoré became president in 1987 after a military coup and the assassination of Thomas Sankara, who was president then.

His attempt to change the constitution to extend his 27-year term caused the 2014 Burkinabé uprising. The uprising began due to attempts at changing the constitution to allow him to run again and extend his rule. He resigned on 31 October 2014 after ruling for 27 years.

In August 2021, the prosecutor of the High Court of Justice announced that the trial of members of the government suspected of having played a role in the suppression of the insurgency of 2014 will begin. Blaise Compaoré could again be summoned to answer the judges' questions.

# Ethnography

**Ethnography** is a kind of anthropology. Ethnographers study specific cultures.

Ethnography mostly uses participant observation. The researcher becomes part of the setting or mixes with the people being studied. They try to record patterns of social interaction and the thoughts and experiences of participants. Ethnographers want to understand these in their local contexts. Ethnography started in social and cultural anthropology in the early twentieth century. It spread to other social sciences, especially sociology.

Ethnographers mainly use qualitative methods. They may also use quantitative data.

According to Dewan (2018), ethnographers do not try to find generalized results. They study cultures in context and in a specific situation. The best way to use ethnography with quantitative research is to discover relationships. Then, use the results and data to test and explain empirical assumptions.

The **Asiatic cheetah** (*Acinonyx jubatus venaticus*) is a critically endangered subspecies of the cheetah native to Asia.

It is also called the **Iranian cheetah** because the only living Asiatic cheetahs live in Iran. It is now extinct in India, but during British colonial times in India it was the famous **hunting leopard**. This name came about because some of these animals were kept captive by Indian royalty and used to hunt wild antelope.

# CITES

The logo of CITES
**CITES** (short for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also called the Washington Convention) is an agreement between many countries to protect endangered plants and animals from the dangers of international trade. It was created after a decision made in 1963 at a meeting of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The main goal of CITES is to make sure that trading animals and plants between countries does not put their survival in danger. CITES bans people from buying and selling certain animals that are listed in the rules, and requires a permit for buying and selling certain other kinds of animals.

Countries started signing it on 3 March 1973. CITES started to have effect for the countries that originally agreed to it on 1 July 1975. Because it is an agreement between countries, it did not take effect in a country until that country agreed to it. Different countries agreed to it at different times. Up to 2025, 185 countries have ratified this Convention.

CITES helps protect over 38,000 species of animals and plants, giving them different levels of protection.

As of April 2022, the Secretary-General of CITES is Ivonne Higuero.
