Just a quick question, couldn't find any information or was just missing it.

In the Amazon there are still people who live in and off the land just like forever ago.

Say someone from a city neighboring the forest a registered citizen of the country here's killed by a tribe member.... What happens? Does the state/country it's in do anything to the tribe or the person who did it?

Or so they just leave em alone BECAUSE they're tribal still and not having civilized ways?

Transparent forest data is key to effective climate action! The FAO's CBIT-Forest project, in collaboration with UNDP, is empowering countries to meet the transparency requirements of the Paris Agreement by enhancing the collection, analysis, and sharing of forest data.

Are Eucalyptus trees really the water hogs we’ve been led to believe? A new study suggests the answer isn’t so clear-cut! Turns out, Eucalyptus and Pine trees might use about the same amount of water—depending on where they’re planted.

[RecExplo] Looking for a local guide for a jungle expedition in Borneo!

Hello all jungle explorers!

Gabriel and I, Kelan, from the RecExplo duo, are planning an expedition to the jungles of Borneo (Kalimantan) this August! We can't wait to share this adventure with you, but before we leave, we need your help! 🆘

We're looking for an experienced local guide to accompany us for the first 3 days. We don't want a simple tourist guide, we're looking for a real jungle expert, capable of showing us the wonders of nature, teaching us the rudiments of feeding ourselves in total respect for the environment and guiding us along the most authentic trails.

If you know any local guides in Borneo who fit this profile, don't hesitate to recommend them to us in a comment or private message!

As well as sharing your recommendations, we'd love to know:

Have you ever been on a jungle expedition? Tell us about your experience!

What's the most important advice you'd give to someone embarking on such an adventure?

What would you like to see in a video about a jungle expedition?

We can't wait to read your comments and share this extraordinary adventure with you!
