Joining our expeditions means a lot of air miles. While we work for conservation, we also realise these flights are harmful for the environment. That's why we support the Regrow Borneo project, which replants illegally-cleared river-bank forest: regrowborneo.org

For fern conservation, every #tropical forest #fragment count! A new important paper. #forest fragment size does not shape the fern abundance, richness and composition. Whereas, what play a role are #soil, #topography, and forest structure.mdpi.com/1999-4907/13/9…

Bye-bye, Kuala Belalong Field Centre! We had a great #Borneo expedition. Thank you, IBER UBD for facilitating it. And watch this space for more impressions from 10 days of mist netting, Winkler bagging, malaise trapping, and tree climbing.

Today in the news in #Brunei, but already rumoured during our taxon expedition last week: earless monitor lizard Lanthanotus borneensis now found in Brunei by staff from Universiti Brunei Darussalam and IBER UBD
