Where Has The Jungle Gone?


We are blessed in Brunei to be surrounded by the pristine rainforest and I have only recently started appreciating our natural environment. Last night the hash was off Jalan Muara in an area that has been frequented by hashers and walkers for years. It was therefore a huge surprise to me that a huge chunk of the jungle in that area has been razed for a new development with major roads cutting through what used to be jungle running trails. 

Though not of my doing I suddenly felt very guilty. I do not agree with hindering development and progress but at the same time it's a great shame.
