"Sometimes, we don’t know what the outcome will be but we follow our heart. In this case, we just plant... and hope they will come …”

I remember the early days, when we first started planting Napier Grass near Tanini Kinabatangan - Sabah, Borneo . We don’t know what to expect. We want to provide food for our elephants and that they will spend more time eating from these pasture rather than venturing into the plantations and the villagers therefore endangering themselves.

It felt like a small effort, a few rows of green, grown with the help of local students, visitors to the area, and our RESPECT, RESPonsible Elephant Conservation Trust team. But we held on to the hope that one day, it would matter.

And now, after just a few short months, the elephants have started coming and returning. They are not just passing through, but actually stopping… grazing… enjoying what we’ve planted.

Seeing them there, and knowing that our collective effort is helping to provide a safe and nourishing space — it’s hard to put into words how much that means. This is not just about grass. It was about coexistence. About showing our visitors — both human and wild — that this land has room for all of us.

Thank you to everyone who planted alongside us. This is your story too.

We often travel to see something new.
But sometimes the most meaningful part of the journey… is who you meet along the way.

In Kinabatangan, life flows with the river—and the people here are as much a part of this ecosystem as the wildlife.

They’ve got big noses, big bellies… and a surprisingly soft side. 🐒👃
Meet the Proboscis Monkey — one of the most iconic (and weirdly adorable) wildlife you can find only in Borneo.

Weird, wild, and wonderful.

What makes eco-tourism different from regular travel?

It’s not about where you go.
It’s about how you go—and who benefits from your journey.

In places like Kinabatangan and Libaran, your trip can help:
Fund wildlife conservation
Support local guides and communities
Protect endangered species and habitats
Reduce your environmental impact

That’s what we call travel with purpose.

So the next time you plan an adventure, ask:
“Does this experience give more than it takes?”

Eco-tourism isn’t about perfection.
It’s about making better choices—one step, one trip at a time.

The Bornean Elephant: Why They're Facing Such a Tough Battle

You know those adorable "baby-faced" Bornean Elephants? Their existence is pretty fragile right now, and it's a reality we're deeply invested in here in Sabah. It's heavy, but it's important to talk about.

Their Homes Are Shrinking, Fast. These smallest elephants on Earth are literally losing their turf. Think massive chunks of ancient rainforest getting cleared for things like palm oil. It's not just a bit of land; we're talking about their ancestral routes, cut off by development. Organizations like WWF and the IUCN Red List have been sounding the alarm on this for ages – it's rapid deforestation causing huge issues.

The Clash: Elephants vs. Humans. When their forest homes disappear, these elephants have no choice but to venture into human areas, often farmlands. This leads to what's known as human-elephant conflict. Imagine an elephant just trying to find food, wandering onto a plantation – it's rough for everyone involved. Sometimes, it ends in tragedy for the elephants, through things like poisoning or snares. It's a complex, painful situation, and it affects both wildlife and local communities. You can find more on this from sources like Mongabay and local news here in Malaysia.

What We're Doing About It. This whole situation is why our work at Nasalis Larvatus Tours Tanini Kinabatangan - Sabah, Borneo and RESPECT, RESPonsible Elephant Conservation Trust is so crucial. We're not just about showing you cool stuff; our eco-tourism model directly supports efforts to protect these incredible animals.

When you join us, you're actually contributing to:

Saving their space: Helping protect the remaining forests they depend on.
Creating safe paths: Supporting wildlife corridors so they can move freely.
Working with communities: Funding projects that help humans and elephants coexist better.

We see the daily grind of conservationists and the challenges these elephants face. Your choice to travel responsibly with us genuinely helps amplify these vital efforts. Let's make sure these magnificent creatures don't just become a story from the past.
