For years Alam Indah Tours organized magical visits to observe the orangutans and proboscis monkeys on a classic river adventure in Tanjung Puting National Park, Central Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) Unfortunately illegal logging and the encroachment of palm oil plantations within national park areas are continued serious threats to the ecosystem.
