This ancient imperial capital was the eastern commencement point of the Silk Road. The Silk Road has been of an enormous importance to the trade and cultural exchange to Xi’an (formerly Chang’an) as well as important crossroads for people from entire China, middle east, Rome, and Central Asia.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has already begun to support Borneo through cooperative agreements that will help protect the island’s wildlife. ASEAN must now provide resources and guidance for the local governments on Borneo so that they can adopt these agreements. Local and regional governments in Borneo can offer additional support by cracking down on illegal trade in timber or other products within their borders.
Global partners can provide funding to these governments for the enforcement of such protective measures. Furthermore, global partners can send experts to work with local villagers on alternatives to slash-and-burn agriculture. Outside nations can also impose international pressures to isolate the companies that are involved in the illegal and unsafe trade of timber, palm oil, or other products. International pressure can also encourage the governments in charge of Borneo to enforce their own laws.
