During my year in Diani Beach, Kenya I worked with a few different projects. As well as working with whale sharks and carbon offsetting, I got to help out at the colobus trust with their work to save monkeys. Diani is a very small place. I made friends with the assistant manager and some volunteers at the colobus trust and so I sometimes helped them with a few different things. It was an absolutely amazing experience!

Yesterday, I went to see Mattias Klum talk about his work in Borneo, Papua New Guinea and Galapagos islands etc. The lecture was here in Gothenburg, Sweden which is my current location! Mattias Klum is a famous nature photographer for the magazine National Geographic. He was the first Swedish photographer to get his photo on the cover page about twenty years ago and since then I think he said that he's had his photos on eleven or twelve covers. He's very talented and I've been a fan of his work for a while now.

I first heard of him last year when I went to Malayian Borneo because apparently he does a lot of work there. As a matter of fact, he has been to Borneo back and forth for twenty years. He showed a lot of photos of the picturesque environment in Borneo. He showed us amazing photos of the jungle both from the inside and from the outside. He talked about how wonderful Borneo is and how much nature there is there. The vegetation and all the animals.  

Borneo is however not how we think it is. 75% of the jungle is gone due to deforestation. This doesn't just affect the animals that live there but also the indigenous people that live in the jungle. The man reason for deforestation in Borneo is for palm oil plantations. Palm oil is something that is very cheap and you can find it in just about anything. Shampoo, soap, foods etc. There are huge areas of palm trees that are grown for palm oil.
