"Protecting Birds, Preserving Forests – For a Greener Tomorrow"
Why Kalimantan is a Birds Paradise
Kalimantan is one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Its tropical rainforests, wetlands, and mountains are home to some of the rarest and most sought-after bird species. Kalimantan offers a rich tapestry of ecosystems that attract birds from different regions, making it a prime destination for both novice and expert birdwatchers. The island also hosts various endemic species that cannot be found elsewhere, making it an exciting location for those seeking unique sightings.
What We Aim To do?
At BOB "BIRD OF BORNEO ", we are dedicated to the conservation of birds and forests, recognizing their vital role in maintaining ecological balance and sustaining life on Earth. Our mission is to protect avian species and their natural habitats through community engagement, scientific research, and sustainable practices.
Birds are not only indicators of environmental health but also crucial for pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control. Forests, as their primary habitats, provide shelter, food, and breeding grounds for countless bird species. Together, birds and forests form an inseparable bond essential to biodiversity and climate regulation.
Through education, advocacy, and on-the-ground conservation efforts, we work tirelessly to preserve forests and safeguard bird populations from threats such as deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and climate change. Our programs include reforestation projects, habitat restoration, and community-led bird monitoring initiatives.
We believe that protecting birds and forests is a shared responsibility. Join us in our mission to ensure that future generations can enjoy the beauty and ecological benefits of these natural treasures.
Together, we can make a difference—one bird, one forest at a time.

Engaging students in birding can not only foster a love for wildlife but also teach them about biodiversity, conservation, and the importance of protecting natural habitats.
Our mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of environmental stewards by introducing students to the world of birdwatching in Kalimantan. Through hands-on birding experiences, educational workshops, and field trips, we aim to cultivate a deep appreciation for wildlife and foster a sense of responsibility toward protecting the environment. By teaching students about the diverse bird species of Kalimantan, we empower them to become ambassadors for conservation, encouraging curiosity, environmental awareness, and active participation in the protection of our planet's natural resources.
Our vision is to create a future where young minds are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and passion to contribute to the conservation of wildlife and ecosystems. We aspire to build a generation of environmentally conscious students who are not only informed about the importance of birds and biodiversity but also motivated to take action in safeguarding these natural treasures. By integrating birding and environmental education into school curricula and community outreach programs, we aim to ignite a global movement of young conservationists who will advocate for and protect Kalimantan’s rich avian and ecological diversity.
