Mulu - a Forest in Borneo Borneo's rainforests are being devastated by the loggers' chain-saws. In the Malaysian state of Sarawak, one forest remains remarkably untouched. Mulu supports an exuberant variety of animal life: gibbons, giant hornbill, turtles and the rare sun bear. Rarer still are the nomadic Penan, the very last of Borneo's forest people.
Beneath the jungle lies a cave system of vast proportions with an incredible limestone decor. In the caves roost millions of bats whose droppings form a life-supporting carpet for a whole range of fascinating creatures like the oily-smelling earwig, huge spiders, blue serpents and blind albino crabs. This film was nominated for a BAFTA short film award.
