Expedition Borneo: About the show

This month, UKTV Documentary goes deep into the heart of Borneo to uncover the lost world of jungles, mountains and ravines that hide the island's abundance of wildlife.

An assembled team of jungle specialists - scientists, climbers and wildlife filmmakers - explore the habitat before it's too late. Felling the rainforest for tropical timber and converting land to palm oil plantation threatens the whole ecosystem.

The expedition's aim is to track down and film the amazing animals that live in Borneo's wilderness, where the hope is that this evidence will help in the struggle to conserve this region forever.

With the team living and working at a specially-constructed base camp deep in the jungle, and with conditions around them like a sauna (not to mention creepy crawlies like leeches causing problems), it's a labour of love for the team to complete their much-needed study.
