Chinese Stripe-necked Turtle (𝘔𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴) is classified as Critically #Endangered by #IUCN. However, this #turtle species has become a threat to ecosystems outside of its native range (China & Vietnam). Buddhist merit release in countries like #Thailand certainly contributes to this problem.🐢

Whitehead's Lanternbug, Sabah Slender Skink, Borneo Skink, & Horned Gliding Lizard are among #Borneo endemics seen of my trip in April. 🦎 The first two species are in fact essentially #endemic to the state of #Sabah! #naturebeauty #wildlifephotography #lizards #reptiles #jungle #animalphotography

Diard's Trogon ♂ of nominate subspecies #endemic to #Borneo is much more reddish-crowned than #birds in Thai-Malay Peninsula & Sumatra. This plump bird effortlessly caught a stick insect in front of me at #Sepilok. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdwatching #naturebeauty #insectivore #birdphotography

Mekong Wagtail, Great Thick-knee, Small Pratincole & Wire-tailed Swallow from #UbonRatchathani last week. Breeding successes of these #birds have decreased through nest flooding as a result of unnatural water level controlled by the many upriver dams. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdwatching #nature
