The Amazon of the East

Originating in the hidden heart of Borneo, the Kinabatangan River winds its way for more than 560 kilometers – through soaring forests of fruit, past concealed limestone caves and across lowland riverine and mangrove forests – before feeding into the rich coral reefs of the Sulu Sea. We follow local wildlife photographer, Cede Prudente, as he captures the destruction, drama and diversity of life that the river supports in the hopes of raising awareness of the challenges facing the river system.
