Description

Agile Gibbons break the morning air, hornbills call from their perch, the cicada and other stridulating insects saturate the biophony with their nonstop sounds.

Tanjung Puting is a veritable hothouse of ecodiversity. The diverse habitat zones shelter slightly different fauna and flora providing a great variety of microhabitats for plants and animals and thus, the opportunity for many species to be present in close proximity. In a Bornean context, tropical heath forest by itself is not representative of the largest trees, the tallest canopy, or the most diverse ecosystem.

This is Borneo.
