I was surprised to see how much land clearing is happening in Belize - mostly for agriculture. Pictured here a shot of the sunrise between the towns of Hopkins and Redbank where fires are burning after land clearing.
A ground level view of the Ogooue River Booue Chutes with big fishing hoop nets. Since most of the fish we saw for sale at village markets were catfish, and i know they use these types of nets to catch catfish, assume that's what these were after. Can't imagine what it would be like putting these in and taking them out given the current.
Variable in colour with the background colour ranging from blue to orange or green. Found from India and Sri Lanka through Malaysia to Papua New Guinea. These butterflies can often be seen flying through the tropical forests along rivers and streams. The genus name Parthenos is Greek for virgin and the specie name Sylvia means 'wood or forest'. The common name Clipper comes from an allusion to the species white wing patches that are said to look like the multiple billowing sails on the mighty sailing trade ships of Cramer's day. All butterflies have six legs but some may appear to look like that they only have four when in fact the last set of legs are tucked up high on the butterflies thorax as seen here.
I've been enjoying the dragonflies in my backyard that I dipped into my archives for this shot from a few yrs ago from Borneo.
While visiting our friends at CSTEP we stopped at the Lalbagh Botanical Gardens (The Red Garden in English), a well-known botanical garden in southern Bengaluru, India. It has a famous glass house and spectacular representation of native plants - including some of the big trees that would be found in some of the fabled jungles of India.
We did a bunch of birding while in Belize and I tried on a few occasions to photograph birds while there - this guy appeared right as we were leaving for the airport, only a few meters from the deck of the house we stayed in - had to pull out the camera for a last-minute shot!
Another shot from Borneo longhouse during September trip to Indonesia - this one featuring Dayak leaders - try as I might I couldn't get a smile when the camera was on them. Love those looks!
I have photographed frogs all over the world but never in an airport at the gate while waiting for a plane so Broome Australia makes it a first!

The rambutan is native to the Indonesian region,and other regions of tropical Southeast Asia. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the lychee. It was harvest time while I was in Indonesia so it was everywhere...and it is delicious!

An appropriate first photo from recent trip to Indonesia – logging, mining and conversion to palm oil threaten one of the world’s last big tropical forests – Borneo is home to orangutans, large stores of the world’s carbon and indigenous cultures…and it all starts with a road.

Into every life a little rain must fall - that's obviously relative in the rain forest! Pictured here a small river community in East Kalimantan.
The more we are different the more we are the same – on the surface people from around the world seem so very different but my experience suggests that despite those superficial differences people are very similar. They all want a place where they can be safe and secure, provide for their families and make their situations a little better for themselves and their children. Seeing mundane things like laundry in a jungle community brings that home for me.
Rivers are the highways of Borneo moving people and supplies in and out of the small jungle villages or up and down the river. This boat appears to be outfitted with dredging equipment probably for mining/prospecting.
(fiddling with the CS6 oils filter) Great spot! This sub-tropical forest is part of the Kholo Gardens, outside Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, which have been restored after the 2011 floods devastated the area.

August & September were busy travel months including trips to Mongolia, Indonesia & Australia. This trip took me from the wilds of western Mongolia to the wilds of East Kalimantan in Borneo, Indonesia. For context - Borneo is the third largest island in the world after Greenland and New Guinea. Straddling the equator, it covers 750,000 square kilometers (290,000 square miles), more than twice the area of the British Isles or more than Texas and Louisiana combined! It is also home to some of the world’s largest carbon stores and amazing diversity, both cultural and biological. By one count there are 300 ethnic groups in Borneo. - Indigenous groups like the Dayaks. Here is a shot of a few Dayak people in a traditional long house that is still in use. Many Bornean people have traditionally lived in longhouses that hold up to a 150 people and are like village under one roof. Note the walls are in 3D and all hand made.

It is estimated that 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation. Natural Climate Solutions focuses on strategies for protecting and restoring ecosystems and incentivizing more sustainable land uses in order to avoid emissions and/or enhance biological sequestration of carbon. Latest research suggests such strategies are capable of mitigating a third of human emissions, making them critical to achieving climate stabilization of 2 degrees or less.
