You begin your journey in ancient rainforest that once covered all of Borneo. You start by climbing up into a canopy viewing station that overlooks the horizon of this virgin rainforest. You can see what this land would have looked like before modern human developments started to influence the landscape. Everywhere you look is an ecosystem that has evolved over millions of years, with species co-adapting into an integrated and complex web of life that provides resilience and strength.
