BIODIVERSITY ......................................................... Here in the spirit of astounding Borneo, you will be astounded by the tropical forest around you.  In the sticky heat, plant life trappings everywhere.  Many thousands of genus of ferns, mosses and blossoming plants along with thousands of species of fungi thrive in this multipart territory. 52,000 Hectares of impressive equatorial rainforest presents visitors to Gunung Mulu  World Heritage Area with an wonderful assortment of flora and fauna.  This is home to many fauna species from the World’s smallest creature, the Savi's Pigmy Shrew, to some of the biggest bugs on Earth.  In the impenetrable foliage reserved macaques, bearded pigs and moon rats hide, combination in so well that we rarely see them surrounded by the tall immense trees jamming out the sky with their opaque canopy. Richly coloured butterflies glide amongst trees intertwined with lianas, ferns and orchids.  The position is a thick mat of leaves and unmarked new seedlings careworn to find their own space.  The heartbeat of life is all just about you, plants and animals, living, eating and dying. Strangler figs, extend by fruit-eating birds, commence life germinating high in the awning.  Growing speedily in the sunlight the Strangler sends a shoot down to the position and then starts to envelop the host tree,  becoming larger and stronger as it clings to every exterior available, strangling the tree in its death grip.  Finally, the tree will die and rot away, departure the fig eminence as a shell of the tree’s previous shape. Watch out for the wicker, a thorny vine accomplishment for the sun, it entwines its way for up to 1000 metres from first to last the trees.  This is an imperative plant used in weaving by the local people, but for the gullible, it’s a painful meeting.

The air is rich with the cologne of 170 species of undomesticated orchids.  If you are lucky you will see the renowned Slipper Orchids, or you may spot the snooping shaped decanter plants. Mulu is home to 10 genus of these insectivorous plants which enhancement their diet by eating visiting insect. Some lodges use animals in other ways. One genus of ginger, flowers at opinion level and exudes a overpowering smell. Beetles rising and falling balls of dung, in which they will later lay their egg, are fooled into thinking there is fresh dung and enthusiastically seek it out. The insect gets no dung, but the flower does get pollinated. But why is Mulu so diverse? First there’s the geography with the landscape ranging in elevation from just 50 metres above sea level near park headquarters to the peaks of Gunung Mulu at 2,377 metres, and then we have the unique subversive environments of the caves.  Coalesce this with a geology of alluvial clays, brickwork and granite formations to produce dozens of niches and consultant environments for both plants and animals.
