A double rainbow shines thru the rain over the forest

In this photograph taken on August 2, 2010, a double rainbow shines thru the rain over the forest in West Kalimantan province on Borneo island. In 2007 Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei signed a declaration to protect the 'Heart of Borneo' region they share, which is home to endangered orangutans, elephants and rhinos. Under the declaration, the three countries agreed to work together to conserve about 220,000 square kilometres (88,000 square miles) of equatorial rainforest covering about a third of the island and combat illegal logging and wildlife trafficking in the ecologically sensitive area. Borneo's rainforests have been under threat from unsustainable logging, forest fires and conversion to plantations.
