Few places conjure images of darkness and mystery like Borneo; the island has long nourished the imagination of naturalists and travellers alike. From the heights of Mount Kinabalu to pristine coral-fringed islands off-shore with vast tracts of lush rainforest between, this diversity of habitats supports a tremendous array of endearing and intriguing species. There are mammals, lizards, snakes and frogs that fly, fish that 'walk' on mud, monkeys that dive and swim, plants that eat insects and flowers the size of dustbin lids. Illustrated throughout with over 200 stunning photographs, "Wild Borneo" is a celebration of - and a showcase for - the splendour and diversity of the island's natural history. Written in an engaging, educational and thought-provoking style, it also describes the ongoing efforts of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to protect and nurture Borneo's wealth of natural resources, and is published in association with this world-renowned organization.
