This lush, biodiverse paradise is not only a hotspot for herpetologists, those like me who study reptiles and amphibians, but also a treasure trove of natural beauty waiting to be explored. Here\u2019s a glimpse into my incredible journey, both at the conference and in the wild.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Conference: A Gathering of Minds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The conference took place in the vibrant city of Kuching, where researchers, students and conservationists from around the globe gathered. The energy was palpable, with presentations covering a range of topics from the conservation of endangered species to the latest findings in herpetology through archeology and the discovery of new species.<\/p>\n<p>I was particularly fascinated by a session on the unique adaptations of the life history including tadpole stages of already described species. For some described species we don\u2019t know their tadpole stages, which was fascinating to me. Are they live birthed? Where are the eggs, on the parents back like a midwife toad? Up in the forest canopy in a pitcher plant? How fast do the develop? What do they look like? In a lot of cases we don\u2019t know! The speakers shared captivating stories about the intricate relationships these creatures have with their habitats. Learning about the conservation efforts to protect the rich biodiversity of the region and around the world filled me with hope and a renewed sense of purpose. I also loved learning about tadpole bubble-sucking, where tadpoles that are too small to break the surface tension of the water to breathe suck in bubbles of air to meet their oxygen needs. Larger tadpoles breach the surface, like a tiny Orca, to gulp air.<\/p>\n<p>Networking during the conference was equally rewarding. I had the chance to connect with leading researchers and fellow enthusiasts, exchanging ideas and experiences. It was inspiring to see how passionate everyone was about the preservation of these remarkable creatures and their ecosystems. I was able to present on both our treatment developed for cryptosporidium in turtles as well as our novel breeding setup for Oregon Spotted Frogs. Distributing this knowledge among the community of researchers and conservation professionals is essential as it may directly help those facing similar problems but may also lead to the expansion of the ideas into developments we may never have thought of otherwise.\u00a0 I was even able to connect with fellow Canadians and explore some future opportunities for WPC to help in restoring extirpated reptile populations here at home (stay tuned!). Reconnecting with local peers halfway around the world over a bowl of delicious Sarawakian Laksa was a unique experience!<\/p>\n<p>I also want to extend my appreciation to the organizers of the conference who supplied childcare for attendees with children. Because of this I was able to bring my 5-year-old son, perhaps a future herpetologist or at least paleontologist, for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This support helps to increase access to delegates who can be restricted in their participation otherwise.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lvmpqs04-f83f0674155a527c8921a74de6fdfcda\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lvmpqs04-f83f0674155a527c8921a74de6fdfcda img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lvmpqs04-f83f0674155a527c8921a74de6fdfcda .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lvmpqs04-f83f0674155a527c8921a74de6fdfcda av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-48295 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-48295 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Borneo_GroupPhoto.png' alt='' title='Borneo_GroupPhoto'  height=\"1080\" width=\"1920\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1qo19yw-bcf38e5ebfd24f69bc8d04e0171cf14e'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>From left to right, Rachel Fallas (WPC&#8217;s Reptile and Amphibian Program Biologist), Andrea&#8217;s son with Andrea, and WPC&#8217;s Lead Biologist of the Ojibway Prairie Reptile Recovery Program, Jonathan Choquette. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nature\u2019s Playground: Exploring Borneo\u2019s Wilderness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the conference wrapped up, I ventured into the wild, eager to experience Borneo\u2019s unparalleled natural beauty firsthand. I started my journey in the iconic Bako National Park. Site known for its towering peaks and rich biodiversity. Hiking through the park was like stepping into a living museum, where every turn revealed something new. Our guide pointed out the stunning Bornean orangutan and proboscis monkeys and a veranus lizard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m1qo2aep-f2ff868e60574c5a0a5b47635d7331ec\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m1qo2aep-f2ff868e60574c5a0a5b47635d7331ec img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m1qo2aep-f2ff868e60574c5a0a5b47635d7331ec .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m1qo2aep-f2ff868e60574c5a0a5b47635d7331ec av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-48296 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-48296 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Borneo_Tryp.png' alt='' title='Borneo_Tryp'  height=\"1080\" width=\"1920\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1qo3akl-302ba5e9ca866ab66d43441ec74420d7'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Borneo isn\u2019t just about its wildlife; the cultural richness is equally captivating. I visited local villages and traditional village education center and learned about the indigenous communities who live in harmony with nature. Their respect for the land and its inhabitants left a lasting impression on me. I participated in a traditional dance class, observed cooking methods and the unique flavors of Bornean cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on my journey, I was struck by the importance of conservation efforts in Borneo. The threats posed by deforestation and climate change are real and pressing. Attending the conference and witnessing the passion of the attendees reaffirmed my belief that education and awareness are vital for the future of these incredible species and their habitats.<\/p>\n<p>My trip to Borneo for the reptile and amphibian conference was more than just an academic experience; it was a journey of discovery, connection, and reflection. From the vibrant discussions at the conference to the awe-inspiring beauty of the rainforest, I returned home with a deeper appreciation for the natural world and a commitment to advocating for its preservation.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the opportunity to visit Borneo, whether for research or simply to explore, I wholeheartedly encourage you to dive into its wonders. Each adventure holds a lesson, and every creature tells a story that deserves to be heard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-1c28nfn-b43226128f209289cfc90758c79f8147 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-48123'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-rs2n4z-8fed8e8a96cdfebce06b2081ea3cf81e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-12  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhhwhp6e-f304a75106673aca766fed47dd3dd4dd'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Andrea Gielens<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Lead Biologist &#8211; Fraser Valley Wetlands Wildlife<\/h5>\n<p>Andrea manages WPC&#8217;s captive breeding and release programs for the Oregon spotted frog and the coastal western painted turtle.
