Orangutan Tanjung Puting Tours testimony

From the moment we stepped off the plane, Danny has been exceptional in everyway possible. Educational, professional, friendly, kind and humorous.
We feel extremely lucky to have such a fantastic guide to show us through such a tranquil part of this world. We have learnt so much about the jungle, birds, Indonesian language, culture and of course the Orangutans and many types of monkeys. The accommodation on the boat was pure serenity. It was our own palace in paradise. Highly recommend this experience. Rubaiyah the cook provides gourmet meals with lots of variety and delicate tastes, a soft gentle lady with a beautiful smile. To sit on the mattress on the boat just cruising along the river with so much comfort and an excellent crew was pure indulgence. I'm not ready to leave this amazing place we call the jungle surrounded by so much beauty. No Roads has had picked a magnificent high calibre group of guides. I'm so proud we can call them very own and know whoever enters this part of the world will have an experience of a lifetime that they will never stop talking about.

Thank you Danny, we Love you, Fiona, Wendy and Clancis.

Borneo's forests are highly biodiversity. According to WWF, the island is estimated have at least 222 species of mammals (44 of which are endemic), 420 resident birds (37 endemic), 100 amphibians, 394 fish (19 endemic), and 15,000 plants (6,000 endemic) -- more than 400 of which have been discovered in surveys since 1994.

Birds
Borneo is perhaps best known for its hornbills -- eight species are found on the island. Large and noisy but also colorful and charismatic, hornbills have remarkable nesting behavior where the female is sealed on a tree hollow during the nesting period. At this time she is completely dependent on the male for food -if he is captured or killed, the female and her offspring will die.

Mammals
As in most tropical rainforests, the vast majority of mammals on Borneo consist of bats and rodents, which play important ecological roles -- including seed dispersal and insect population control -- in the forest ecosystem.

There are 13 species of primates on the island, the best-known of which are the orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), gibbon (Hylobates muelleri), and long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis). Borneo is also home to the banteng (Bos javanicus), a species of wild ox; the highly endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis); the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), which is smaller in stature than mainland elephants; the Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor), the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) and the sun bear (Helarctos malayanus).

Orangutan
The Orangutan is a great ape with long arms and reddish brown fur. Orangutans are presently found only in rainforests on Borneo and Sumatra, though they were once widely distributed in southeast Asia (as far as southern China). Today orangutans are highly endangered in the wild due to habitat loss (the destruction of rainforests for logging and agriculture) and the illegal trapping of baby orangutans for the pet trade. WWF estimates there were around 55,000 Bornean orangutans in 2004, but the number has since dropped largely as a result of widespread forest fires and increased clearing for oil palm plantations. In August 2006, the Wildlife Conservation Society-Indonesia Program said that Indonesia's population of orangutans stands at 20,000, down from 35,000 in 1996. Due to its slow rate of reproduction, environmental groups have warned that red ape could go extinct in the wild without urgent conservation measures. Genetic analysis has recently concluded that there are three subspecies of orangutan in Borneo: Pongo pygmaeus morio, the Northeastern Borneo orang-utan, Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii, the Central Borneo orang-utan and Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus, the Northwest Borneo orang-utan. For more on the orangutan, take a look at orangutan articles and orangutan pictures

Proboscis monkey
The proboscis monkey lives only in the swampy lowland rainforests of coastal areas of Borneo and the Mentawai Islands. These large monkeys are best known for the male's large protruding nose. Proboscis monkeys are social animals, living in groups of 10 to 32 individuals led by a single dominant male. The proboscis monkey is highly endangered -- less than 7000 are thought to exist in the wild
