Last chance to see?
03 May 2010In response to a rising demand for wildlife experiences in the Far East, we have launched a special tour of China and Borneo to see some of the planet's most endangered animal species. The 16 day tour includes a day's volunteering at the Bifengxia Giant Panda Research Base in Sichuan, and a chance to see a number of critically endangered species in the wilds of Borneo. For every person who books this special wildlife tour we pledge to donate US$50 to the WWF.
