Yale 360: In the mid-1990s I visited a magnificent tract of lowland rainforest in Malaysian Borneo. Some of my fondest memories are from that forest: hiking under the towering trees, wading in the crystal-clear streams, and delighting in its spectacular wildlife, including hornbills and endangered orangutans. But a few months after my visit, those trees were torn down, and the forest was obliterated. Today that area is an oil palm plantation. The destruction of that forest set me on an odyssey that led...

New York Times: There is a remote stretch of land in Ethiopias forested northwest where the dust never settles.
