Nat.Kutai National Park in East Kalimantan. The park is home to the remains of an orangutan and other small monkeys. On the map, the Park has an impressive size. In reality, everything is much worse.

Roma, thank you so much for such a romantic report for the New Year! Not even for the photo, but for the report. Very takes for the soul...

Bratva, Happy New Year 2013 to all of you . I wish you all good health, interesting trips, good reports, and valuable trophies . I raise a full glass to everyone.
Happy New Year!!!!

Yekarny babay!
These are the most awesome Christmas cards, Roman!

Cheeeeeeers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, on the general dull-mediocre-nyashechnom background of such a "New Year's greeting" - just super!
Happy New Year!!!

Then Romald, and put up a photo of mattresses?, still interesting...A-to, chief of staff and local girls of reproductive age and good looks, caves and bridges..

Then Romald, and put up a photo of mattresses?, still interesting...A-to, chief of staff and local girls of reproductive age and good looks, caves and bridges..

Dyk, as far as I understand, all the material from that trip is no longer on mattresses, but mounted, donated, exchanged...

It was in Indonesia...
Kalimantan-Sulawesi March 2011

But, could they be?

But, could they be?

Mattresses? Why could there be? They couldn't help but be!!! But whether they were photographed...

And why? Roma, there is such a butterfly farmer Jan Petersen. Lives on Palawan. He once went there from Denmark to catch butterflies and hired a local assistant. I ended up getting married. He has 5 children. He lives like you topless on Palawan, and he's seen this Denmark!

I will definitely return to Kalimantan. I think I'll be lucky enough to write a real report on my third attempt . That's just left me at least a small forest .

Roma, about the little forest, I think you should this report it will be interesting. Quite useful and up-to-date information.

Eugene, thank you very much. I watched the movie and wrote down the names of the villages. We also saw orangutans in the wild when we were in the National Park of Kutai, the monkey almost fell on Alex's head. The guide obviously didn't expect to meet him himself.
I heard a strong crunch of twigs breaking, and when I looked up, I saw a small orangutan falling from a great height. The monkey still managed to cling to the branches, and in a few seconds it was already running away from us. I yelled at Alex to take a picture of her, but the orangutan disappeared into the trees as quickly as it had appeared. In my opinion, we got a bad photo.
Here, you have now seen how these u...s cut down the precious forest. In Indonesia, a very good forest remained in Papua. I wanted to rush there in March, but the Deputy in the rear failed. He can't go ( probably scared of nosy?). I have to change my plans again. It will be difficult to take Papua and Kalimantan alone. I'm not going there to see monkeys. If the hero of the movie backpack weighed 30 kg., without a generator. How much will it weigh on me? So just the two of us, or maybe the three of us. There are also plans to climb Punchak Jaya ( 4800m). I will also recruit a team.

Sergey E. Nikitin has even more specimens in his collection. It is a pity that there was never a clear report on this expedition ( although not only we were there from Russia, but also Viktor Sinyaev from comp.). That's why I want to go back there.
And the fate of the sawyere that did not work out in the photo. When it was caught, it was zero. The collector incorrectly applied a sedative, and the beetle was alive for a long time ( about two days). During this time, he, in agony, managed to bite off his paw and whisker. But that's not all. He clung to his picker's arm as he pulled him out of the stain, and if he hadn't been weakened, he would have bitten off a piece of skin from his hand.
As a result, in Moscow, the insect fell apart into small fragments right in the hands of the customer. But the customer was very happy, and did not demote the collector in salary.

Roma, about the little forest, I think you should this report it will be interesting. Quite useful and up-to-date information.

I liked this movie!!! That's it-YES!
An explosion of life, a sea of raging energy, a pleasant sun, eeeh I would definitely not smear sunscreen
Tropical rainforest-similar to a thundercloud in its dynamics, and there are continuous ascending and descending flows of matter and energy, in the cloud they give rise to bizarre shapes and outlines, and in the rainforest-incredible plant and animal life forms, they ascend on the ascending flow of the sun's energy, and then disappear, giving rise to new and different forms of life. new variations.
Power and force of nature For one cycle revolution in the middle zone, it seems to take hundreds of millennia, and there-dozens, if not units.

And the movie is cool, I just get sick of movies about animals on Tel avizor, where they always talk about the rating of super predators, deadly reptiles and wild laws of the jungle, ugh. And here - everything is concise and pleasant.

Mr. Herofis, I invite you, together with the Entomological Special Forces, to plunge into this mysterious world . I'll be leaving for a new expedition soon . I don't have a partner . The balance of the new trip will not exceed 110000 rubles . For your sake, I am ready to take on the payment of gasoline . You will only be charged for a ticket, car rental, and other minor and unexpected expenses.

You're kidding me, dear!

A new Molbiol T-shirt and Entomological Special Forces will be provided to you for free by our sponsor EntomolodzhIbox. Your status is still difficult to determine . We will find it out during our expedition .
Chief of Staff .

You're kidding me, dear!

What makes you think that? I never joke around on live TV . Or were you afraid of the balance of the trip? It can be significantly lower . Well, let's say 90000r. It all depends on the situation!
And the money doesn't fall on my head either . You have to earn, however .

Romyald, no, thank you, I'm not tempted to take a gamurnenkie trip, regardless of the balance
I, if I really go, then I will go to live, the minimum time is at least a year, and then, this is the minimum. And to go to the national parks-this is not the NRA for me. )))
Yes, and we have our own gilea, it is also beautiful, quiet, there are of course no orangutans, but also tourists-also

Mr. Herofis, I invite you, together with the Entomological Special Forces, to plunge into this mysterious world .

Do you know that you are depriving a person of not only a Dream, but also a great topic for trolling?

- And it's hard for me to watch these Indonesian reports... - objectively, you will not understand or feel anything if you can't bear it yourself... Not to mention, parting with such a sum of hard-earned money is also a feat in itself.
It seems to me that you can even, as in the London story "Straitjacket", look at these photos and fly away with your soul to the place where it was taken, inhale that air and merge, understanding without words the wisdom and greatness of the incomprehensible element!!!... - And then return to the mortal body will be the most painful and sobering!
The only word I didn't understand was "trolling" - is that some kind of sport? - like backbiting?
- And there is probably a crazy pleasant feeling-to return home after all this, enter your door, and after a bath sit by the window staring blankly at the gray Moscow asphalt, - again find yourself back in the opposite - in Indonesia!

Jokes aside. Forest man asks for help! How can I help him?
If I were Putin twice, or Obama three times, I still wouldn't be able to help! But everything is so simple, everyone should sit down at the negotiating table and choose a clear line for saving (correcting the development) of our house called Earth.
It was exactly one year later when I returned from Tasmania. It is even hard to believe that people are fleeing from fires in the ocean, although last year the coast was deserted. We swam, only in wetsuits.
Here is an excerpt from information sources (January 2013):
"According to the regional rescue services, several thousand residents of towns and villages located in the interior of the island were forced to move indefinitely to evacuation centers opened in coastal cities. The fire destroyed almost 10 thousand hectares of . Eyewitnesses say that in many areas the fire was so strong that even at a distance it seemed that "you are standing behind the turbine of a jet plane." Owners who lost their property as a result of the disaster also note a very high speed of flame movement. "We were prepared for what happened, but we could not prevent the spread of the fire," they admitted.

The situation is complicated by the intense heat. On Friday, the thermometer there reached plus 41.8 degrees Celsius - an absolute record since 1883."
How naive are the Australians!? How do they shake at the border when entering? How do they cling to everything?How humiliating is it to get a visa at the Australian Embassy?How do they put themselves above others, considering that earnings and standard of living are above all else? And how we all, looking at such a sample, are mistaken!
The master of the saw has no choice, and the master of the Earth has no brains. We are all tied together by the same chain, and clearly our ship is sailing to the wrong shores.

You need to consume less, Romyald Just one trip to Thailand or somewhere else just for the sake of bliss and pleasure costs nature-hundreds of oil, and the opening and burning of hydrocarbons saturates the atmosphere with gases that retain thermal radiation.

But this is only at the first Greenpeace glance, you need to consume less!
In fact, we need more! Fly more, burn oil and coal and gas, burn, burn and burn! Then the turning point will come faster, and then nature will restore everything, and harmony will reign again.. and the world of reptiles and orangutans in the jungle.. Won't the orangutans survive? It doesn't matter, the cauldron bursting with energy will throw out new orangutans, better than the previous ones, as long as the people then turn out better than the previous ones )))))))))))

You forgot that man is the most terrible disease on the planet. And with each new day, I doubt more and more that this monster can really be destroyed. It is possible to reduce the population a little, but it is impossible to destroy it. No one will cling to life more tightly than he does. It will die out much later than the last living cell in the wild.
So, you and I can go extinct, Roman, but not the species as a whole. Dreams are in vain, the planet's wildlife is doomed. A person does not know the measures and barriers. And soon he will defeat all living things. All the facts are clear.

Hehehehe, the dinosaurs probably thought so too ))) And then pfft... that's all.
People think so because they think they're gods, putting an iPhone in their pocket and flying on a bucket from one pile of earth to another
The Most High does not delay, he is long-suffering, so that everyone has hope of salvation
But vseranvo, anyway, in the end vseranvo will be-pfft.

2 Romyald: It's not clear how vulnerable local ecosystems really are to these fires.
In a forest area, for example, a fire is an absolutely necessary thing, without it, the litter in conifers does not really decompose. Fires are linked to a lot of different animals, in a variety of ways - from the temperature-dependent germination of seeds to the settlement of beetles in burnt trunks. Therefore, what seems to be an absolute disaster from the outside may actually be just a necessary stage in the development of cenosis.
At one time, I dealt with Americans who worked on this topic - there it came to the idea of artificially controlled burning of forest areas, because the productivity of the ecosystem for a long time without fire decreased very noticeably. People had serious problems both with the local forest protection service and with the fish and game service, because the perception was purely unambiguous, fire=evil.

Mr. Herofis, I am glad that I saw all this with my own eyes and smelled the fragrance of "natural perfume". And you, and could not escape, from mental imprisonment . You only provoke the audience .
And for the forest man, help is on the way . Tomorrow Tasmania and Southern Australia will feel the breath of Antarctica .
I may burn gasoline, but I'm worried . Yes, I don't need to explain it to you . You won't understand it anyway, and if you do, you'll be able to turn it around. You are trollis vulgaris, however.

Romyald, you haven't seen, you've consumed You're Homo consumens, however

Yeah, coming up.. No "Antarctic breath" is expected there. By the way, I watched it in order to find out what's going on there NCEPGFS run, yo-my, what a hot summer over Antarctica!!!! Oh, my God! At the top, almost TVM is spinning. I've never seen anything like this before! Cool, however

  
I, though I burn gasoline, but I'm worried

That is, you burn, but you are worried? And what's the difference, to worry and burn, or not to worry and burn? the question is rhetorical. But it's not about gasoline!!! About kerosene!

Now count how many uranium atoms you need to decompose and burn oil to build roads and bridges everywhere, so that you can get on a moped!
I believe that roads and personal vehicles are the greatest evil. No roads , no traffic, which means that everything is clean, there is no garbage, no one is lying in the bushes, no music is playing, there is no logging organized by assholes who bought a saw and can't find a use for it. Some even dig roads into the forest to somehow protect them. A person who came to the forest on foot, who reached by public transport, will not bring a ton of grub and bottles.
My classmate, the owner of a Chevy Niva, sometimes goes fishing with me (once every couple of years, but he has business, then I have it). I scare him off-road and he comes by bus. How much food he carries!! Then we think together about what to do with it! And if he was in a car... And how many of them are there?! To find a place to sit by the river and enjoy nature, you need to go very far until the off-road terrain begins.
