Sumatra: Harapan - The Forest


As well as working hard in the forest, we also get to enjoy it.

Walking through there is so much interesting flora and fauna, even if we aren’t recording for our forest plots we stop and enjoy the forest as well.


Trees



Buttress Roots

Burnt out

Flowers






Fruit




Fungi (my personal favourites)





Understory Vegetation



Rattan: Be careful, it has sharp barbs.
2 pairs of field trousers with matching ripped holes and a few scratches on my arms as well.


A few creepy crawlies we encountered:
