FACT CHECK TIME! Here’s some solid info our fact-checkers found:
- The proposed mega-dam on the island of Borneo would flood an area of 412 square kilometers. To put that in perspective, it’s equivalent to about 77,000 football fields, or more than double the size of Washington, D.C.
- About 20,000 indigenous people would be displaced by the reservoir and would become refugees. Yep, 20,000.
