Wildlife of Borneo
Bornean Field guide, Trip Planner and Sightings Log
Know before you go. See more in the field.
Borneo holds some of the richest biodiversity left on Earth — Orangutans, Pygmy Elephants and Clouded Leopards in rainforest that exists nowhere else. This is a free field guide to 1,240 of its species, a planner for building a trip around them, and a log for recording what you actually see.
Get started
4 regions
Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Kalimantan — from Kinabatangan river safaris to remote Kalimantan rainforest.

Trip planner
Interactive map of every location we cover — save regions and species to your own itinerary, then download it as a PDF or email it straight to a tour operator.
Once you're there
Once you're on the ground in Borneo, switch to My Sightings to record what you actually saw — the species, the location and the date. It's a simple way to keep track of your trip as it happens, and afterwards it doubles as a personal memento of the wildlife you encountered, or a record you can share with friends, family or fellow travellers.
Who it's for
The app is built for anyone with an interest in Bornean wildlife: independent travellers planning their own route, guests preparing for a booked tour, guides and tour operators putting together itineraries for clients, and teachers, students or naturalists who simply want to learn more about the species that make Borneo one of the richest places for wildlife on Earth.
