Highland Plants (Alpine plant)

BORNEO HIGHLAND PLANTS
Borneo is home to the richest rainforest in the world. The climate provides an ideal growing environment for approximately 10,000 species of plant (more than in the whole continent of Africa). Among these are some 2,000 orchids and 3,000 trees, including 267 Dipterocarpaceae tropical rainforest trees, of which 155 are endemic to Borneo. This makes the island the center of the world’s diversity for dipterocarps. Plants include five species of the strong-smelling parasite Rafflesia, one of which, Rafflesia arnoldii, has flowers over a metre wide, making it the world’s largest flower.
This lush vegetation has attracted numerous wild animals and birds to build their habitats here. Therefore, Borneo is definitely the best place for bird-watching activities.
