The third largest island in the world, Borneo is home to the oldest rain forests in the world – 130 millions years old, to be exact. That’s a good 70 million years older than the Amazon. Other aspects of Borneo are equally impressive: 3,000 tree species, 220 different mammals, 420 resident bird species. And more are being discovered.

It’s no wonder that WWF Borneo tour is one of the most popular on our lineup each year. In fact, our trip scheduled for June 2012 is more than half sold out.

Learn more about Borneo by reading our picks for the top articles about Borneo on this blog. Then travel there with us on our June 2012 Into the Heart of Borneo tour.
