else where, and are becoming increasingly rare.
These lowland forests of Kalimantan (the Indonesian portion of Borneo) are
recognized as some of the most biolocally diverse habitats in the world, with as many as
240 different species of trees growing in one hectare. In addition, Kutai’s 7,500 hectares

In the dense forest of West Papua, there live a group of birds with brightly colored
feathers. The birds are commonly known as Cendrawasih.
Their colors are so fantastic that people believe they are from paradise. In fact, only
the males have these colorful feathers. They display the most colorful part of their
feathers to attract females for mating. They attract as many females as possible before
the end of the mating seasons.
The males take no part in making a nest. Neither do they incubate the eggs nor rear
the chicks. The females build nest of leaves in a tree. It is about four to ten meters
above the ground. They incubate two or four eggs for three weeks. By the time they
leave the nest, the tail feathers of the male chicks will have grown into a fantastic shape.
The natives of Papua have used the birds’ feathers for their head decoration for
