A Visual Celebration of Borneo's Wildlife Reviews

"This book contains intimate images and captivating insights into one of the most exhilarating parts of Asia, showcasing the incredible passion of the authors May it inspire every reader to place an even greater value on nature and act accordingly." --HRH Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands, President, Fauna & Flora International (FFI)
"If the great Victorian naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace could have seen this astonishingly beautiful book he would no doubt have declared it the next best thing to exploring Borneo oneself. I have never seen a book on Asian wildlife that so powerfully takes one's breath away with the turn of every page." --Dr. John van Wyhe, National University of Singapore, historian of science and leading expert on Alfred Wallace, author of Dispelling the Darkness: Voyage in the Malay Archipelago and the Discovery of Evolution by Wallace and Darwin
"The most important, and visually ravishing, record of Borneo's wildlife ever published. The authors have followed in the storied footsteps of Wallace and Whitehead to capture, in all its glory, the dramatic creaturely life in the most biodiverse forests on Earth. It is a celebration, yes, but also the most powerful case imaginable for the conservation of Borneo's natural wonders against the all-too-rapid encroachment of the bulldozer and plough. Once buried, these wondrous birds and animals will be lost, and a portion of our souls will die with them. Save these forests now!" --Prof. Gillen D. Wood, University of IllinoisUrbana Champaign, author of Tambora: The Eruption that Changed the World
