The initiative is not a declaration of an international park, nor is it a statement to conserve the designated area. It is an agreement to sustainably manage the area. In truth, almost the entire area covered by this agreement is licensed as a concession for logging, agriculture (including palm oil), and even mining. The WWF were instrumental in facilitating this agreement, and maintain an office in Singapore (the Heart of Borneo Global Initiative) to support coordination between the three governments.
