Event information
PETER BURKILL: I am a biologist by training and rose to become Director of the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation in Plymouth. Now retired, my love is to travel with a camera, taking pictures of wild-life. Unfortunately this is curtailed as I had a stroke 2 years ago which affected my brain.
TALK:I will take you to Sabah in northern Borneo, first to the Danum Valley then to the Kinabantangan River and lastly to Sepolok to see the wild-life there. The main attraction is to see Orangutans in the wild. They are fascinating creatures, the largest arboreal mammals with long arms and a solitary nature. In contrast, other apes, such as langurs, macaques and proboscis monkeys, are more sociable. Birds such as Hornbills are equally sociable, as you will find out!!
