DANUM VALLEY CONSERVATION AREA

Im so happy coz finally I have a chance to visit Danum Valley Conservation Area with my friends and students.I felt so happy coz this is my first time.So funny coz I was born and raised in Lahad Datu and never been to this place.Hahahahaha.......This activity is for Year 4 and 5 students.There are 44 of them (21 boys and 23 girls)........
We were there for 3 days from Friday (18th August 2006 until 20th August 2006).So nice to be in that place.This Danum Valley is the biggest reservation forest in Malaysia and the biggest in South East Asia.Many scientists and researches came to this place to search and make their observation on tree,animals and insects.I didn't have a chance to talk to one of the scientists even we all stay in a same hostel.Its because they are very busy doing their job.Some of them are still study.
Lots of activities we have done from jungle-tracking to swim.We swam at Segama River....which flow along the Danum Valley.The students are very happy there.They never saw this animal.........PIG or WILDBOAR......They was so surprised to see this animal coz they never saw it before at FELDA.But they were happy coz this is one of their experience........
The students have a chance to see the leeches......walk along jungle trail.....watching video.....watch birds......watch deer........They do enjoy themselves so much.....and so all the teachers involved.Luckily all the girls' teachers are single.So, we don't have to worry much on how to handle things specially when it comes to 'preparing food'.Everythings seems to be fine and Im so happy with what we had there.We also have a chance playing volleyball with Danum Valley staff.Some of them are rangers.
Im so happy with this activity and hope to have more great and fun activity in another place.
