Exhausting and challenging. At times, thought-provoking. Often surprising in so many ways. But also exhilarating, exciting and rewarding! Our recent visit to the Greenview Lodge at Sukau on the Kinabatangan River opened our eyes and hearts to the people, culture, environment and animals of Borneo, and left us with memories we'll treasure forever. The work was hard, the accommodation was basic, the people were lovely and the whole experience was beyond our expectations. We learned about the palm oil and the local culture; we cleared, planted and tracked new wildlife corridors; we cooked and ate with local families; we enjoyed local crafting, music and dances. Just some of the wildlife we saw: endless macaques and hornbills; kingfishers and eagles, orang utans and elephants; civet and crocodiles; owls and water monitor lizards, green keelback and bronze back snakes, flying lizards, gibbons, silver langer and red leaf monkeys, beautiful songbirds, millipedes, a giant squirrel and lots of proboscis monkeys. Every day was an adventure, with nothing guaranteed, but always something astonishing.
