Borneo

The learning behind it.

Sabah packs extraordinary biodiversity into one journey: orangutan rehabilitation, rainforest fieldwork and a reef to snorkel. At a rainforest field centre, students run their own biodiversity surveys and present their findings. Wildlife sightings, and Rafflesia in bloom, are possibilities, never promises.

What students take away

• Rainforest ecology and biodiversity fieldwork
• Conservation of endangered species
• Hands-on service: tree planting with a reforestation project (provisional)
• Expedition and camp skills
