It is not always clear what is Southeast Asia. Some people refer to it as Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Burney.
Others include the Indochinan countries Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. Yet others also include China.
The first lot of countries, being closer to the equator, originally had larger percentage of land covered by rainforests, however much has been cleared. Most of Indochinan countries also contain rainforests, even though they are not quite as dense and there are quite large areas in some countries (Laos, Cambodia, parts of Myanmar and China) that are not covered by rainforests.

The extensive rainforest destruction that has been happening here is threatening some endemic animals as well as tribal people.
The endemic animals in this part of the world are for example Orangutans, Bornean Leopards, and many other mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
The local tribal rainforest people include Akha, Bajau, Degar, Hmong, Igorot, Karen, Lahu, Lisu, Lumad, Mangyan, Negrito and Sakai.
