The Heart of Borneo Project
Conserving the Rainforest through Exploration, Research, and Education
(This is a temporary website and is not complete. Our new site will be online shortly)
The expedition aims to help conserve one of the most biodiverse and threatened areas of rainforest left in the world by bringing together research and the media, while empowering a local community, and creating an educational resource for teachers all over the world.
Discover:
The expedition leaves in July and will spend 12 weeks attempting to access and explore one of the final frontiers of the natural world – the Joloi/Kapuas watershed, deep in the mountainous interior of the Bornean rainforest.
Educate:
Our website will be a virtual learning environment packed with multimedia, where teachers can download resources and lesson plans, and kids can interact with the expedition team in real time live as they move through the jungle. Over a hundred schools from around the world following us on our journey.
Inspire:
We will be one of the first truly interactive jungle expeditions, using the latest satellite technology to upload multimedia from the jungle as we go. In this way we can engage with a huge audience, and a section of our website will help people make positive changes at home, school, or work, and give budding explorers the skills to go on their own expeditions!

We still have lots of spaces for students to get involved. You can apply to lead the 2011 expedition, or use your skills in design, management, PR, multimedia, or anything else to gain great work experience and help us achieve our goals.
