A colourful illustrated poster celebrates Happy New Year 2026 for Borneo Local Journey. A dense tropical rainforest fills the scene, with a mountain in the distance. Borneo endemic wildlife is shown throughout, including a rhinoceros hornbill, orangutan, proboscis monkey, pygmy elephant, reptiles, insects, butterflies, and birds. A large rafflesia flower sits at the centre, surrounded by lush green trees and foliage, with bold “2026” text above.

If you think your job is a headache, try being a professional tree-puncher. 🪵🌳

Name: Rufous woodpecker (Micropternus brachyurus)

#borneo #birds #addBirder #forest #borneolocaljourney #woodpecker #wildlife
A rufous woodpecker is seen clinging to a pale tree trunk high in a tropical forest canopy. Broad green leaves frame the scene, while soft daylight filters through gaps in the foliage. The bird’s warm brown plumage and red crown stand out clearly against the sky and surrounding branches.

A small, pale Asian Brown Flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica) bird with a rounded body is perched on thin twigs in dense foliage. Soft light highlights its smooth feathers while dark leaves and branches form a shadowed background. The bird faces sideways, appearing calm and alert within its natural woodland setting.

A red leaf monkey (Endemic to Borneo's Rainforests) sits on a tree branch in a tropical forest. Its long, reddish-brown fur looks soft and slightly untidy. The dark face and pale eyes are clearly visible. One arm rests on the branch while the body leans forward. The background is green and softly blurred, which keeps the monkey in clear focus.

The incredible artistry of the Dayak people in Borneo. This warrior statue (Hampatong) holds a traditional Talawang shield, protecting the entrance to the village. The colors and carvings are even more stunning in person.

Hornbills are crucial to forest health, acting as seed dispersers. Protecting them means protecting the entire ecosystem. 🌳

Bali bans the keeping of long-tailed #macaques as pets, a practice responsible for widespread cruelty & misery. This is an important new policy issued by #Bali Governor Koster & one that we hope will be introduced elsewhere in #Indonesia
