2008 出發到婆羅洲 Expedition @ Borneo
探索婆羅洲 - 砂勞越及沙巴
婆羅洲是世界第三大的島嶼,分別由汶萊、印尼及馬來西亞所統治。它擁有引人入勝的景色、富有特色的土著文化和極 為豐富的生物多樣性。另外,亦可在那裡發現全球其中一片最大的原始熱帶雨林,作為一個重要的氧氣庫,對減輕氣候 變化的程度作出不少貢獻。
野外長征2008遠赴馬來西亞的砂勞越及沙巴,探索這片未經開發的熱帶雨林和體驗多元的風土文化。砂勞越及沙巴位 於婆羅洲以北部,其風貌由沿海岸的珊瑚礁、宏偉的熱帶雨林,以至於淡水的平原所組成,這些多元化的生境為不同種 類的野生動物提供了孕育及繁衍生命的地方。這片熱帶雨林對平衡溫室氣體的排放舉足輕重,亦是高度瀕危的婆羅洲猩 猩和其他特有物種的唯一自然棲息地。
砂勞越及沙巴的亦是地質及地理環境研究的寶藏。其中,壯麗的洞穴、奇形怪狀及色彩各異的岩石,也可在位於砂勞越 以北被評為世界自然遺產地的Gunung Mulu National Park找到,其風采吸引了不少遊人到此尋幽探秘。
這是一個難能可貴的機會,認識與學習有關熱帶雨林及世界性環境的議題,並透過為當地社區服務,將自己融入其獨文化之中,藉此得到令人難忘的經歷和體會。
About Borneo - Sarawak & Sabah
Borneo, the third largest island in the world, is divided by Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. It has Asia's largest remaining rainforests, and is home to astonishing landscapes, indigenous tribes and a rich biodiversity. As one of the world's largest oxygen-generating treasure, rainforests of Borneo is crucial in the global scale to mitigate the extent of climate change.
Mighty Rovers 2008 explored the virgin rainforests and experience native tribal culture of Borneo. Sarawak and Sabah are located on the northern Borneo. The landscape ranges from coastal areas, magnificent rainforests to freshwater plains, which are breeding grounds for a wide diversity of wildlife. Apart from balancing of greenhouse gases, the rainforest is the only natural habitat for the highly endangered Orangutan and other endemic species.
Sarawak and Sabah have magnificent geological features. The spectacular caves and rock formation with distinct shapes and colours can be explored in Gunung Mulu National Park which is located on the north of Sarawak and renowned as a world heritage site.
This is a golden opportunity to learn more about the rainforests and global environmental issues, and habituate yourself to the unique native culture through social services.
