The interior of Borneo, a pristine, virgin rainforest, was inhabited by uncontacted indigenous tribes and naive, virtually tame, wildlife fifty years ago. Robin Hanbury-Tenison led one of the largest Royal Geographical Society expeditions ever, illuminating the global rainforest movement and revealing the vital role of rainforests in our planet. However, much of the wildlife paradise has been devastated by logging and the forced settlement of nomadic tribes, leading to the extinction of traditional ways of life and unimaginably rich and diverse species. This story reminds us of the fragility of our planet and the urgent need to preserve the last untamed places of the world.
