Stephanie Sim from RSPB Northern Ireland is in Harapan Rainforest for a month. She's supporting the team there with the expertise she normally uses back home in Belfast - public affairs and media. Steph is recording her impressions and we’ll pass those on to you. As with most visitors to the camp, one of her first impressions was the wildlife. Even in camp. Normally it is the call of the gibbons that captures visitors’ imaginations. Steph also snapped this fantastic praying mantis on a leaf right in camp. The dappled colouring is really unusual, and that firm stare makes it clear that there was mutual fascination!
