What is the environment like in Brunei?
The country has a lush, green, leafy feel to it that many people find addictive. Every bush that one passes is alive with the sounds of hundreds of creatures and the amount of flora and fauna that one can witness on a daily basis is one of the many attractive aspects of life in Brunei. Most people tend to live on or near the coast and the rest of the country is mostly primary or secondary rainforest. Despite the enormous amount of development which has taken place over the last ten years, there are still very large areas of untouched jungle, as there has been little or no extensive logging and there is not really any heavy industry. The oil industry is concentrated on the southwest coast and does not have a serious degrading effect on the environment. Because of the small population, the towns are not at all crowded. Overall then, much of the country is in pristine condition.
