You don’t have to be a biologist! Anyone with a heart for nature, biodiversity, and conservation is welcome to join us in Borneo on an adventure for science! 无论您是不是生物学家，只要有颗热爱大自然及生物多样性的心，我们都欢迎您加入我们婆罗洲的科学探索行！

Discover new species of wildlife with the scientists of Taxon Expeditions – learn about the secret lives of frogs, spiders, insects and other lesser-known animals of Borneo; and also set up, run, and complete your very own multi-day biodiversity research project.

Travel to Borneo and immerse yourself in wild nature while at the same time learning from our experts and discovering new species. The cherry on the top? You get to name them yourself and publish your findings in top-notch scientific journals! Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!

Taxon Expeditions offer a unique experience in the forests of Brunei for the untrained biodiversity enthusiast, with experts teaching you the tricks of the trade of discovering, naming, and describing new species. You will enter the jungle with bug nets and jars, and emerge with previously unknown creepy-crawlies that you get to name yourselves in top-notch scientific journals.

这是个在北婆罗洲文莱的原始热带雨林中独一无二的体验！Taxon Expeditions 让未受过培训的博物爱好者与分类专家们一起发现，并学习各种分类，命名，和报告新物种的技巧。您将会与专家们一起带着虫网和采集罐进入森林和溪流，带着从未发现过的物种出来自己命名，并可以在顶尖的科学期刊中和专家们一起发表报告。

Climb into the canopy where you can spot North Borneo Gibbons, Green Broadbills, and Giant Squirrels while watching the sunrise on the jungle horizon. 攀爬到树冠层，在那里你可以看到长臂猿、阔嘴鸟和巨型松鼠，并在丛林地平线上观看日出。
