My issue is Deforestation in Borneo. Some elements in Borneo are hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen. Here is why these elements are involved in my issue.

Hydrogen: The thing with hydrogen and deforestation in Borneo is that there is not enough production of hydrogen fuels. Hydrogen is produced with fossil fuels which contributes to the deforestation in Borneo, the habitat loss and destruction. By demanding more clean hydrogen energy, it has led to an increase in logging which causes lots of ecological damage in Borneo.

Carbon: With carbon and deforestation in Borneo, Borneo is facing a lot of carbon emissions. With all the deforestation going on, it has not only destroyed the land but lots of the released carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which makes climate change worse and at a threatening level for Borneo.

Nitrogen: The problem with Nitrogen and deforestation in Borneo is the really bad clearing of the forests for agriculture and farming purposes (Palm oil trees). Deforestation disrupts the process and cycle of the trees which are called nitrogen fixers are taken away which leads to soil degradation. This really impacts the biodiversity and ecological balance of Borneo.
