KOMODO DRAGONS
Komodo dragons are a monitor lizard. Their scientific name is Varanus komodoensis. They grow to 3m in length and can weigh as much as 150kg. While they are usually slow moving, they can put on spurts of speed equal to a dog.

ORANGUTANS
Orangutans are highly intelligent with ability to reason and think. This large, gentle red ape is one of our closest relatives, sharing 97% of our DNA. Indigenous peoples of Indonesia and Malaysia call this ape "Orang Hutan" literally translating into English as "People of the Forest".

The Orangutan is a remarkable creature as it is the world's largest arboreal primate. Now faced with the possibility of extinction in the wild in the foreseeable future the No Roads dossier provides some interesting facts about the habits of orangutans and their chances of survival.

NATIONAL PARKS
We will be visiting two of Indonesia's best National Parks, The Komodo National Park and the Tanjung Puting National Park. Each park is a unique eco-system found nowhere else in the world. The Komodo Dragon is only found in this part of the world while the flora and fauna of Tanjung Puting is found elsewhere, it is not found in such abundance.
These parks are remote from human activity. While they are pristine in many respects, they are under threat from deforestation and unethical fishing practices. Groups such as FNPF, BOS, OFI and The Nature Conservancy are helping to protect these fragile eco-systems. By visiting these places, you will be helping to protect these wonderful places for our grand children.

SUPPORT

AUD$250 of your expedition fee will be donated to the work of OFI, BOS, FNPF and the Nature Conservancy.
