Komodo Island, Flores, Indonesia
Komodo island, part of the Lesser Sunda chain of Indonesian islands, is the rugged habitat of the 3m-long Komodo dragon monitor lizard. Komodo National Park covers the entire region and is home to more than 4,000 dragons, and is made up of rusty-red volcanic hills, savannah and forests. Its surrounding waters of seagrass beds, mangrove shrublands and coral reefs are famous for diving.
Bali
This collection features Bali's beautiful landscapes, flora, rice agriculture, Hindu culture, and more. Bali is an Indonesian island famous for its forested volcanic mountains, lush waterfalls, iconic rice paddies, beaches, and unique Hindu culture. The island is home to religious sites such as the cliff-side Uluwatu Temple. To the south, the beach-side city of Kuta has lively bars, while Seminyak, Sanur and Nusa Dua are popular resort towns. The island is also known for its yoga and meditation retreats.
Proboscis Monkey
The proboscis monkey or long-nosed monkey, known as the bekantan in Indonesia, is an arboreal Old World monkey with an unusually large nose, a reddish-brown skin color and a long tail. It is endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo and is found mostly in mangrove forests and on the coastal areas of the island.
Flora & Fauna Peatswamp Forest, Borneo
The Borneo peat swamp forests ecoregion, within the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests biome, are on the island of Borneo, which is divided between Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Rehabilitated Orangutans, Borneo Indonesia
These Orangutans have been rescued and rehabilitated. They now live in a protected area. The Bornean orangutans are endangered according to the IUCN Red List of mammals,[5] and listed on Appendix I of CITES. The total number of Bornean orangutans is estimated to be less than 14 percent of what it was in the recent past (from around 10,000 years ago until the middle of the twentieth century) and this sharp decline has occurred mostly over the past few decades due to human activities and development.
Bornean Sun Bear
The sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a species in the family Ursidae occurring in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is the smallest bear, standing nearly 70 centimetres (28 inches) at the shoulder and weighing 25–65 kilograms (55–143 pounds). It is stockily built, with large paws, strongly curved claws, small rounded ears and a short snout. According to the IUCN Bear Specialist Group, sun bear populations have fallen by an estimated 35% in the last three decades. Numbers are especially low in Bangladesh and China, and populations in Vietnam are feared to decline severely by 50–80% in the next 30 years. Habitat fragmentation is on the rise particularly in Borneo, Sumatra and some areas of the mainland range. Heavy deforestation (due to agriculture, logging and forest fires) and hunting for wildlife trade are severe threats throughout the range;
Borneo Insects
Just the arthropod fauna of Borneo's lowland forests has been estimated at 3,000 species, with Hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants), Coleoptera (beetles), flies (Diptera) and true bugs (Hemiptera) showing the most species and largest population sizes.
Borneo Flowers
This footage is a rare collection of flowers and orchids found in the heart of Borneo.
Sea Turtles, Indonesia
Sea turtles migrate to reach their spawning beaches, which are limited in numbers. Living in the ocean therefore means they usually migrate over large distances. All sea turtles have large body sizes, which is helpful for moving large distances. Large body sizes also offer good protection against the large predators (notably sharks) found in the ocean.
Land Clearing With Fire, Indonesia
The Southeast Asian haze is a fire-related large-scale air pollution problem that occurs regularly. Generally, it is worst between July and October. These haze events have caused adverse health and economic impact on Brunei Darussalam, in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and, to a lesser degree, the Philippines and Thailand. The problem flares up every dry season, in varying degrees. Transboundary haze in Southeast Asia has been recorded since 1972.
