It makes sense that some of the largest cities in the world are in Asia since these and other countries are so highly populous.

1. 1 – Tokyo, Japan: 37,393,129.
2. 2 – Delhi, India: 30,290,936.
3. 3 – Shanghai, China: 27,058,479.
4. 4 – San Paolo, Brazil: 22,043,028.
5. 5 – Mexico City, Mexico: 21,782,378.
6. 6 – Dhaka, Bangladesh: 21,005,860.

A rough visual comparison of the map shows the urban area of Tokyo is maybe 3 times the size of London.

As you can see, contrary to the question, Japan is actually colder than comparable European latitudes. This is not surprising: Europe is warner than everywhere at comparable latitudes as a general rule, owing to the influence of the Gulf Stream.

Tokyo is safer than London. Far more safer.

United Kingdom is approximately 243,610 sq km, while Japan is approximately 377,915 sq km, making Japan 55% larger than United Kingdom.

Thousands of miles away on the island of Borneo, native groups are engaged in a far more gruesome conflict, one that – according to British and Asian news reports – includes widespread incidents of headhunting and cannibalism.

To combat this threat, the government of Sabah has pledged to increase the extent of protected areas from a current 23 percent of land area to 30 percent, safeguarding nearly one million acres of rainforest over the next four years.

As in many tropical areas around the world, Borneo’s rainforests are being cut and degraded for timber, palm oil, pulp, rubber and minerals. The increase in these activities is being matched by a growth in illegal wildlife trade, as cleared forests provide easy access to more remote areas.

The governments of Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia (each governs part of the island) made a joint declaration to conserve around 220,000 sq km of rainforest – the “Heart of Borneo” – through a network of protected areas and sustainable forest management.

Although the Ministry of Environment and Forestry may recognise an area to be of high conservation value, it unfortunately does not mean the area is protected from logging or other illegal activities. Up to 90 percent of deforestation in Borneo is carried out illegally.

By replanting areas with native rainforest trees and protecting them from wildfires, we restore critical habitats and reconnect populations of orangutans and other native species.

Deforestation in Borneo has taken place on an industrial scale since the 1960s. Half of the annual global tropical timber procurement is from Borneo. Palm oil plantations are rapidly encroaching on the last remnants of primary rainforest. Much of the forest clearance is illegal.

Indonesian Borneo, which accounts for 73% of the island’s territory, lost the most forest at 3.74 million hectares. It also gained the most plantations, a total of 4.35 million hectares. Smaller Malaysian Borneo lost 2.29 million hectares of forest and gained 1.85 million hectares of plantations.

Located in the southwest Pacific, Borneo is the world’s third largest island. The island is politically divided among Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. How much do you know about this fascinating place? Borneo is situated southeast of the Malay Peninsula in the Greater Sunda Islands group of the Malay Archipelago.
