Why you'll love it
🔹 A biodiversity hotspot
The jungle of Borneo is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. For many visitors, the island's lush rainforests and rich wildlife are the biggest draw, and they frequently serve as a backdrop in David Attenborough's documentaries. It's one of the few places where one can still see orangutans in the wild. But conservation in Borneo is not just a story for TV, it's lived daily, shaped by complex social and economic realities.
🔹 Learn about Conservation on the ground
Palm oil plantations are often portrayed as the primary cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss. While they do play a role, the picture is far more complex. Conservation in Borneo requires a nuanced understanding that balances human needs with environmental protection. That's why we work with local NGOs and guides who are conservationists and ecologists. We work together to expose pangolin trafficking, and the tours are also great opportunities to monitor wildlife in the jungles.With our Borneo itinerary, we endeavour to show you not only the incredible wildlife on this land, but also to unpack how conservation is practised in an Asian context.
