Acquired May 27, 2003, this true-color Landsat ETM image shows part of a plantation in Malaysian Borneo, along the edge of the forest. The area outlined in white in the ETM image appears in greater detail in the image acquired on June 18, 2002, by the commercial satellite Ikonos. The images show the differences between forest, cleared land, and palm plantation.
