About the Book
From the steaming jungles of Sarawak to the concrete jungles of Kuala Lumpur, The Borneo Chronicles documents Mark and Angela’s three week sojourn through Malaysian Borneo and Brunei in August 2011. While the days of impenetrable jungles ruled by fierce and foreboding headhunters and other wild creatures are long over, Borneo today is an island struggling to find a balance between economic development and biodiversity conservation. Though the oil palm plantations seem to be winning out as the majestic forests increasingly vanish in smoke and sawdust, the visitor to Borneo can still catch a fascinating glimpse of the abundant wildlife, jungle streams, waterfalls, interesting plant life, secluded beaches, trekking trails and a melting pot of cultures and customs. For how much longer remains the unsettling question.

Mark Jarratt likes to accompany Angela on her wilderness adventures (to a point) and sees himself as a bit of a Wild Man too. While being dragged deep into the sweltering jungles to hang with the indigenous peoples and a wild boar or two is a tad out of his comfort zone, his long held fascination with anthropology sees him through. He is waiting with bated breath for the next expedition.
