The statement that best describes a long-term effect of trade routes established in early civilizations is: "Islam still has a strong presence in Southeast Asia."

This statement highlights how trade routes facilitated cultural exchanges and the spread of religions, which can have lasting impacts on regions far beyond their origins. The other statements, while they may be factually correct or have historical significance, do not specifically relate to the long-term effects of trade routes in the same way.
