Heath forests-known locally as kerangas, meaning “land unsuitable for rice cultivation” in the local Dayak Iban language, are among the least understood ecosystems of Borneo.

In this blog post Andreas Losch discusses his recent review article in the International Journal of Astrobiology, The need of an ethics of planetary sustainability
