Take a 4 hour night trek through the forest. Our hearing and flashlights will be used to identify and search for nocturnal animals such as the slow loris, mouse deer, moonrat, and a wide variety of active insects, snakes, geckos, and amphibians. Often we will see some diurnal animals sleeping high up in the trees for safety. The insect noise is almost deafening, but strangely therapeutic.
