Meeting brilliant people, getting in touch with nature and its inhabitants... I'd love to see rare animals like that someday, and not just in the zoo but in their natural habitats. It must be quite the experience! How close can you get to the sun bears and orangutans? It would be awesome if you could eventually bring groups of students on a trip like this. :) What you’re doing seems really amazing!

I can't agree with you more that being in nature is just an amazing experience! Your expedition and the coming plans really reminded me of the 9 days in Borneo. I never had any appreciation of nature before I went to Borneo, but I realized that how beautiful our planet is after the trip. It's a feeling that cannot be expressed in words. I still remember Coco, Amy and I did some research on palm oil plantation in Borneo last year. I would like to hear more about the current situation of palm oil plantation! Mr. Loken,

Great post, sounds like a great place to be. I think that you make a very valid point that orangutans seem to get so much attention that other types of animals are often overlooked. It happens so often; one animal is picked, publicized and packaged to the world, everyone pays attention to it while other, equally unfortunate animals go by unnoticed. Hope all is well!

I would love to be working with sun bears, orangutans and any other kind of wildlife there at Samboja Lestari. What does a normal day for you guys look like? When are you guys going to do that documentary you mentioned in your last email? I think it is safe to assume that you spent a lot of time with these animals, which makes me wonder if you are able to see their emotions more clearly. What is your favorite thing about each of the animals you are working with? What exactly will you do at the palm oil plantation? As you can see, I have a lot of questions but I will leave it at that for now. You guys must be having the time of your life. Look forward to hearing more about your future adventures.
