Best Volunteer Programs in Borneo

Borneo is the 3rd biggest island in the world and part of Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. In context of Borneo you might also have heard the name Kalimantan. That is the Indonesian name for Borneo. Given its equatorial climate and the oldest rainforest worldwide, Borneo offers the most diverse flora and fauna. The wildlife consists of several animals, from the smallest squirrel to the Bornean elephant. One of the most famous animals you can find here is the endangered Bornean orangutan. Resulting from illegal mass deforestation, mining and forest fires, the orangutan is under constant danger. Here, your work as a future volunteer comes into play. There is a variety of volunteering projects available such as assisting at an orangutan sanctuary or volunteering in a construction project.
