Travel Theme: Animals

http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/10/05/travel-theme-animals/

Ailsa has chosen Animals to mark World Animal Day on Thursday, 2 days ago. I was very privileged  to be able to visit Sepilok, Borneo to see the orang-utans, really high on my ‘do before I die’ list. I hope you like this beauty!

About Lucid Gypsy

Gilly Mbachu Goldsworthy is a mum to two kids that are supposed to be grown up and mma to a four year old and a new born baby boy. None of that means that I am grown up though! I love writing – travel and quite edgy fiction – and being an OU student for a degree which remains to be seen. What I do best though is counselling; I’ve been privileged to work with many people through big changes.

    Lucky you. Borneo sound like a very exotic adventure indeed. The orang-utan is just gorgeous, Gilly. :)

    Is this the place where Orang-utans who have been displaced by the loss of their habitat when the trees have been cut down, or rescued from unsuitable homes are cared for before being moved to a new area?

    Fantastic, Gilly. This is a definite on my “do before I die list” too. I hope that there are still orangutans left in the world then. Their survival is under serious threat.
