Sabah Research Field Centre

I was busy preparing one of my working paper on establishments of the research and education centre in our area. While doing my writing i surf the net. Trying to look for an idea. I found quite interesting development of research field centre all around the world. To fit into local needs i may try to combine some of it. Facilities may not too expenssive but still can cater needs of visitors and this place as a rainforest learning hub.

Okay, too much talking. Actually i want to share a few of my findings. Here is the link to a few numbers of field centres.

• Danau Girang Field Centre

This centre is a collaborative research and training facility managed by Cardiff University and Sabah Widlife Department.

• Danum Valley Field Centre

Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA) is a Class I (Protection) Forest Researve located on the western side of the upper reaches of the Segama River in Southeast Sabah, and is the largest remaining area of undisturbed lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah.

• Maliau Basin

Maliau Basin Conservation Area is situated just above the Equator in south central Sabah, the northernmost of the two East Malaysian states on the island of Borneo.

• Imbak Canyon

Imbak Canyon Conservation Area is located almost right in the heart of Sabah, just north of the famous Maliau Basin. It is in the Yayasan Sabah Forest Management Area, approximately 80 kilometers south of Telupid.

**I think enough for this four for now. There are still a lot more. I am so grateful because we still have this much of forested areas. However, the battle is still going on for the indigenous people and life inside these forests.

So Much Work So Little Time

It was a long silence from me. I think it has been two weeks without any posts from me. I was busy completing my paper work and of course out in the field for a few days. This is my work and i choose to do it. So, i have to do it without complaining.

I recieve an email from a friend today. It is about family.............

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.


He said, 'Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you.'


We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.


But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old..


Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.


When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown...


He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.


While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said,


'While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.


Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.


Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.


He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'


By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.


I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said...


'Are these the flowers you picked for me?'
He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.


I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'


I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'
He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway.'


I said, 'Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue....'


FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives..


And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?


Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU


**Interesting story right? Hope you enjoy my post today.....:D

Little Young Birdie - Part 2

Still remember i share about one little bird that we found? You can check in my previous post . I can't remember clearly when i return to that place. I was trying to observed her daily but i was so busy with other thing.

Actually on the day i arrive there, it was so windy at night. The next day i check on her and i was shocked when the nest was fall down from that leaves. I found her hiding under the dried tree leaves. I picked her up and put her back in the nest. Then i gently put the nest back on the leaves as it was before.

People always told me that if human touch the youngs, the mother will abandon her youngs or eat them. I just ignore it and i want this little birdie to be safely in her nest. I took her photo when she already rest comfortly in her nest. Even though at first she was refused and jump off the nest when i put her back in it.

She look really nice and and just wait another day to learn to fly. I don't know what species of bird is this because i din't see her mother visit her. It was really difficult to catch her mum feeds her.

Two days after i took the above photos, she was left her nest. I found the nest was empty. She didn't say good bye to me but it is okay. I know she will doing well in the forest.

After that, I observed almost everyday one bird keep chirping around this nest and maybe that is her. Still i am not sure who is this bird. Still lots to learn about this interesting and wonderful creature.

Wild Animal In Captivity

I am not going to elaborate much about the wild animal being kept in captivity (e.g. Zoo). I just want to share some of their photos that i capture during my recent visit to one of the local zoological park.

The Bornean Gibbon (Hylobates muelleri)

The Tiger (Panthera tigris) playing alone.

The Bornean Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) resting.

The Borneo Pygmy Elephant (Elephas maximus borneensis)
