SUMMARY:Seacology expedition to Borneo — SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:On this expedition to the world’s third-largest island\, you’ll visit a Seacology project\, meet gentle great apes in an orangutan rehabilitation facility\, and see more amazing wildlife in Borneo’s spectacular rainforests. \nUnique Borneo\nClick to view our trip brochure\nThe calls of birds and monkeys echoing through the forest. Vast labyrinths of rivers and streams. Green mountains disappearing into the fog. Hundreds of communities speaking distinct languages. Few places on Earth can match the biological\, cultural\, and geographic diversity of Borneo. \nSeacology invites you to a ten-day journey through Malaysian Borneo\, our first public trip to the island in many years. \nAs Borneo’s ancient rainforests face unprecedented threats from expanding oil palm plantations and logging\, our visit is part of the solution. Borneo’s growing eco-tourism sector presents a path to sustainable economic development and long-term opportunity for its indigenous communities. Our expedition combines the comfort of some of the island’s best eco-lodges with the adventure of exploring Sabah state’s dense jungles and winding rivers. We will visit one of our partner communities to see up-close how Seacology is protecting irreplaceable forest habitat while supporting sustainable livelihoods. And we will meet with local conservation experts to tour sanctuaries for some of Borneo’s iconic wildlife including orangutans and sun bears. \nThe New York Times named this part of Borneo as one of its top places to see in 2020\, and our travel package will be a unique and intimate way to experience this unforgettable destination. We hope you’ll join us. \nOur accommodations\nOn the outskirts of Kota Kinabalu\, Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa will host us for the first four nights of our expedition. Enjoy the resort’s six restaurants and bars while taking in stunning views of the South China Sea. \nA short walk from the boundary of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve\, The Sepilok Nature Resort combines local style and contemporary luxury. Between visits to the surrounding wildlife reserves\, relax in your bungalow or enjoy the large deck overlooking the Kinabatangan River. \nNestled in Sabah’s dense rainforest\, the Sukau Rainforest Lodge is a model of the modern eco-lodge. Recognized by National Geographic as one of the Unique Lodges of the World\, the Sukau upholds the highest standards for sustainable business practices and maintains partnerships with conservation experts and local communities. \n  \nOur project\nIn 2019\, Seacology began a partnership with the people of Kolosunan\, a small village in the mountains of northern Borneo. With limited economic opportunities\, such communities often face pressure to sell off their precious forest lands to make ends meet. But this community came up with an unconventional but potentially lucrative solution: birds’ nests! \nBird’s nest soup is a delicacy in east Asia. Its namesake key ingredient is the abandoned nest of a species of swiftlet abundant in Borneo. The birds usually nest in caves\, and people have collected their nests for many years. But the birds will also nest in structures built just for them. With a Seacology grant\, the community is building a swiftlet hut\, a small\, dark building where the birds can nest and raise their young. After the babies fledge\, community members will collect the nests and sell them—for a good profit—on the international market. This will bring much-needed income to the village. \nIn exchange for our support\, Kolosunan’s people have agreed to protect more than 4\,000 acres of forest\, an important watershed and wildlife habitat\, for 15 years. Our expedition will visit this beautiful mountainous area and meet the local leaders committed to protecting it. \n  \nItinerary\nDay 1: Arrive in Kota Kinabalu.
