Sigh, my guide living back at Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Borneo is telling me that the river wouldn’t survive the impact of it all. They did a river pollution survey and here are the terrible findings….
River sand and stone extraction, effluent from oxidation pond, hundreds of canals from plantations on the riparian reserve, mass palm oil spillage at pipelines when tranfer from mills and tanker to barge etc etc…
I think the next time they do a river survey, i shall fly there to photograph the evidence big and clear with my 80-400mm zoom lens…. 
On a brighter note, and the Bornean pygmy elephants are back at my guide’s hut. Herd of 90!!! Quite a few baby elephants too! Wish they were there while i was there few months back! It will be so cool to have them around the hut and every morning when i wake up, i can see them playing by the river. sigh, how perfect would that be 
Well, i could always fly back if i have the time…. and money of course…
I think i can find the time… maybe a visit by the end of this year again even though my original plan was to visit next year since i’ve visited Borneo like three times this year alone already!! lol…
And yup, hopefully i will meet my wild orangutans on my next visit. They sure are elusive 
SIGN to support the campaign to demand urgent international action at the forthcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Nairobi to stop the conversion of South-east Asia’s peat forests into timber and oil palm plantations, or agriculture, and to restore the peatlands which have already been drained and degraded.
We are in the middle of all these haze. We are experiencing the consequences first hand. Do something about it and let’s not let the haze come back again next year or ever again.
