Finding the last pygmy elephants on Earth in Borneo | Sailing Ep 216

We're navigating along a river in the Borneo jungle, on the hunt for pygmy elephants and proboscis monkeys! But first there's some climbing the mast to do... 00:00 Remotest jungle river 00:19 Rainforest vs palm oil 01:43 Up the mast for repairs in the jungle! 03:44 On the hunt for elephants 08:44 Cheeky wild proboscis monkeys and macaques 11:06 Should we stay or should we go? (Radio net) 11:56 What do the rally boats think? 13:56 Adventuring into a wild tributary. Where are the crocs? The Kinabatangan River has rainforest lining each side, but just behind are vast swathes of palm oil plantations. This means the rarest animals are squeezed into a small area of what was once a vast rainforest. On the plus side, it means our chances of seeing some wildlife are reasonably high, so we jump in the dinghy and go exploring. Peace and fair winds! Liz and Jamie #sailing #rainforest #elephants ?
