Borneo. The name rings with end-of-the-earth appeal, occupying
an almost mythological place in the traveler's lexicon, as though
it were a jungle-covered Atlantis. Yet its wonders are
real—rainforests teem with wildlife such as the pygmy Asian
elephant, monkeys, and the elusive clouded leopard and Malaysian
tiger. And then there is the orangutan, or "man of the forest" in
Malay. These extraordinary creatures may be seen up close in the
wild at places like the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center,
where orphaned orangutans are conditioned to return to the wild.
Eco-tourism dollars will help decide the fate of many of Borneo's
species, so don't delay travel to Borneo.

Travel Experiences
This tour de force lets you experience some of the world's
greatest jungle and marine habitats and their rare
inhabitants-including wild orangutans.
Biologists believe that there could be thousands of additional
plant and animal species that have yet to be identified on
Borneo.
"On much of the island, the rain forest that orangutans and
other rare animals call home is being chopped down and otherwise
exploited at an alarming rate," says Asia Transpacific
travel consultant Tom Lastick. "In Sabah, the Malaysian
government is doing a better job of preserving the land. But even
here, you can't promise that the next generation will be able to
see orangutans in the wild."
