You know people are doing bad things when they have to create a publicity site to sell how good they are….. I clicked on an add for Malaysian Palm Oil….but all I can think of is the several long hours we drove through Sabah this time last year….and all we could see were palm oil plantations where rainforest used to be…
I managed to view the whole of the BBC Expedition Borneo series this week which was a superb reminder of where I was this time last year. We stayed at the same camp as the BBC used for their trip, but there were no helicopters for us! I’ve got photos of the boards they wrote up all the species they saw during their trip, and went on night treks like they did. It was superb seeing all captured in true BBC style. Excellent.

Borneo Rainforests and palm oil…..
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007Laos Coup attempt plot foiled in the USA / Borneo Rainforest deforestation
Monday, June 11th, 2007Some interesting Laos news about a failed coup attempt by Hmong exiles in the USA.
Also good to see the deforesation in Borneo is making headlines news. It’s so sad driving around there. Most of the natural jungle has gone, and you can drive for hours and hours and all you see are endless palm oil plantations and logging trucks……planted and logged by companies that a lot of the ministry apparently have financial interests in.
A few pictures of Mount Kinabalu
