The report released World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) for inventing it at once a call to protect the threatened species and equatorial rain forest on Borneo, which is divided into territories Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

Search of new species that are part of the Heart of Borneo project that started in February 2007 and supported by WWF and the three countries that had the island. The aim is to conserve 85,000 square miles (220,000 square kilometers) of rain forest that was described by Charles Darwin as "one great luxury greenhouses made ​​by nature for herself."

Explorers have been visiting Borneo for centuries, but vast inland forest that remains to be biologically explored, said Adam Tomasek, leader of the project Heart of Borneo - WWF. Findings species including the world's longest stick insect (56.7 cm), flame-colored snake and a frog that flies can change skin color and eyes. Overall newly discovered species known as: 67 plants, 29 invertebrates, 17 fish, five frogs, three snakes and lizards and two species of birds.

Borneo has long been known as the "forest of giants" in the world of insects, including giant cockroaches measuring about 4 inches (10 cm). Scientifically Borneo jungle interior is a conservation targets and the residence of ten species of primate, more than 350 birds, 150 reptiles and amphibians and 10,000 plants that are found nowhere else in the world.

Most Endangered Orangutan Population Found Hidden

by SARAWAK, KOMPAS.com ,  as many as 200 individual orangutan subspecies Pongo pygmaeus pgymaeus found in Borneo region, precisely in the area of ​​140 square kilometers, Batang Ai National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia.

Orangutan orangutan species are known to be the most rare. Its population is now living up to 3000-4500. A total of 2,000 of whom are estimated to live in Batang Ai National Park and Sanctuary Lanjak Entimau, Malaysia.

Previously unknown population was discovered through research at the Wildlife Conservation Society last February 2013. They found 995 orangutan nests, including nests "fresh" which indicates that orangutans use these areas.

Nests can indeed indicate the existence of orangutans in a region. Previous research in Kalimantan, Indonesia, showed that orangutans are able to bend and weave twigs that can be used as a "home".

"They just bend. They can live in it and then you can view it as archaeological artifacts," says Roland Ennos from the University of Manchester in their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last year.

LiveScience reported on Thursday (04/11/2013), related to the discovery of this new population of orangutans, Malaysian Government plans to increase the protection of the population in the national park where it was found.

Did you know? Orangutan Also turns midlife crisis

Humans are not the only creatures who experience a sense of happiness-related disorders in midlife (commonly often called a midlife crisis), primates were apparently experiencing the same thing. According to a recent report from the Proceedings of the National Academy (PNAS), from a study of about 500 large primates (ie 336 chimpanzees and orangutans 172) note that the pattern of mid-life crisis who are also experienced primates, with similar symptoms as humans.

But that does not mean these primates also negatively what do middle-aged men, for example, dress more smartly, or a flirtatious glance at the young girl. Primate behavior change is more on the pattern of increasing happiness at a young age, and then decreased in middle age, and increased again in old age.

"We hope to understand the pieces of scientific information related to this case, why human happiness follows a U-shaped curve in their lives? Humans have shown that happiness is not related to the affairs of mere money, breaking of a marriage, business mobile phones, or other extra things in life. The same is true for large primates, which can not reveal this and certainly unrelated extra things like a man, "said one of the study's authors, Andrew J. Oswald in their media release.

The experts interviewed zoo keepers, volunteers and researchers are also working closely as possible with the orangutans and chimpanzees to examine their lives. By using a questionnaire that has been modified to primates, the researchers found that primates decreased sense of ease and happy at the end of the twenties and early thirties, compared to men who experienced it at the age between 45 to 50 years. In this questionnaire submitted questions about mood, pleasure in socializing, and how they feel the satisfaction of achieving their goals.

"The results that we obtain show that the curve decreased happiness in middle age not only of humans, although it is very different from the aspect of human life and society, but this proves that humans are biologically the same share with primates," said experts. "These findings have broad implications in science and social science point of view, and can help how to enhance a sense of happiness for humans and primates."

The experts themselves do not fully understand why this cycle appears, but in the later theory was that the changes in the brain at middle age, and cause-penyabab evolutive other, affecting the happiness in youth and old age.

"Individuals either young or old age, can experience satisfaction in life stages, where they have fewer resources to develop themselves, and will be less likely to fight back the situation that could harm them or their relatives," said the expert,

Tigers Dahan (Neofelis diardi borneensis)

Zackie Son Commander Hamandit SAVE OUR BORNEO clouded leopard, Kalteng

Ian Apokayan: Well it ... :)

Proven again .. khasus a tailed beast, the leopard (Panthera pardus), is one of the four big cats. This animal is also known as Tiger Dahan.

Tiger Dahan.

These animals eventually 'go down the mountain' entry into human settlements in Kuningan area, which in this area there is little forest / wilderness at the foot of the mountain Ceremei, Brass.

If there is anything like this, then whose is it?

Relevant agencies or local community kah?

Leopard (Panthera pardus) is not like the kind of 'out of the forest' because these animals in their natural habitat on a limb / tree with a height of 3 s / d 10 yards and loved to 'play' on the river. Of course the tiger is out of the forest, because the habitat is not making them comfortable again ... sorry for these animals ..

Will this also be done in earth Borneo, even though we were only there in the Tigers Dahan (Neofelis diardi borneensis) that its DNA is different from the other branches of the Tigers on this earth (Neofelis Nebolusa)?

Ian Apokayan : Insects in the REAL world's longest

Ian ApokayanInsects in the REAL world's longest and ONLY FOUND THERE KALIMANTAN Island. Rod-shaped insect is defined as the longest insect in the world by a British scientist.
The specimen was found by local residents and examined by Malaysian amateur naturalist Datuk Chan Chew Lun. Unique insect is then given its scientific name: Phobaeticus Chani or Chan's megastick.
Paul Brock of the Natural History Museum in London said that this is the longest insect species discovered so far. The shape resembles a bamboo pencil thin, about 22 inches in length, and body length of about 14 inches.
Is greatness insect? These insects have the ability to camouflage to defend themselves. In addition, he is also going to spray toxic against predators!
Finally, we've got Phobaeticus Chani, the world's largest stick insect. The species an insane measure 1.6 feet long and, as you can see, looks an awful lot like just a regular twig. This particular species was discovered deep in the heart of Borneo, and only three specimens have ever been observed. Still, that's more than enough times for me to advise that, if you ever find yourself in the heart of Borneo, take a good look before picking up any twigs.
These are just a few of the strange and awesome animals that are found in the jungles of Borneo.

Wildlife at Borneo (Kalimantan) Island

 

Slow loris (Nycticebus coucang)

Kalimantan has a lot of endangered spieces of animals, all over the Island, but mostly in the national parks the animal diversity can be spot. The Primate groups like orangutan (Pongo satyrus), Mueller's Bornean grey gibbon (Hylobates muelleri), proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis fascicularis), maroon leaf monkey (Presbytis rubicunda rubicunda), white-fronted leaf monkey (P. frontata frontata), pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina nemestrina), and slow loris (Nycticebus coucang borneanus), banteng (Bos javanicus lowi), sambar deer (Cervus unicolor brokei), barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak pleiharicus), and lesser Malay mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus klossi) .Carnivore groups such as sun bear (Helarctos malayanus euryspilus) and flat-headed cat (Pardofelis planiceps), clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), and leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis borneoensis) are just some of the animals at this part of the world. National Parks at Kalimantan are the main home to most of the species, that survived the logging that had taken place over the last few decades.
