Straddling the equator, Southeast Asia is home to some of the world's oldest rainforests, unaffected by any ice age. As the planet's largest archipelago, the region plays host to an awesomely rich bio-diversity of mammals, birds, insects and reptiles that have grown up in isolation, cut off by the seas surrounding their individual islands.
And that's just above the water.

Indonesia Sailing Charters: Ambasi
Exploring El NidoSail through the stunning islands of the Komodo National Park aboard the Ambasi, a boutique, traditional-style, Pinisi sailing boat that is available for private charter for groups of up to 8 passengers.
It is the scenic landscape, crystal clear waters, and relative isolation that attracts and fascinates most visitors to El Nido. The 45 islands and islets and the surrounding sea present endless opportunities for adventure, nature appreciation, and even just simple pleasures.
Vietnam has the highest number of endemic bird species on mainland South-East Asia. There are currently twelve species of bird that are found only in Vietnam, though this figure is liable to change at any time as taxonomic changes are made and species are 'split'. In addition to these twelve endemics there are many more near endemics, bird species restricted to Vietnam and a few neighbouring countries.
Vietnam's Nam Cat Tien Park is highly varied and made up of seasonally flooding grassland and swamp forest. The wetland is bounded to the east, south and west by dense humid evergreen forest with semi-evergreen and deciduous forest in the park itself.
