Sur le plan culturel, il faut aussi penser à présenter les trois périodes importantes de l’histoire de ces pays: précolombienne, hispanique et moderne. Les itinéraires qui suivent sont accompagnés par des guides locaux qualifiés, ils permettent les découvertes les plus classiques comme les plus inattendues et ils ont tous en commun un point que nous estimons essentiel: ils sont constitués d’une clientèle 100% francophone, réunissant des participants venant de Suisse romande bien sûr, mais aussi de France et de Belgique.

    Indonesia: De Borneo a Komodo con Java y Bali, servicio terrestre Un intenso viaje por maravillas naturales de Indonesia Cierra los ojos, estés donde estés. Trata de olvidarte del ruido que te rodea. Por un momento, imagina que te desplazas, sin moverte, a la jungla del Borneo indonesio. Estás en un klotok. No escuchas más que el ruido del barco. Aves y agua lo complementan. Comienzas a relajarte y a integrarte con el entorno natural. La abstracción te lleva a Java, tierra de volcanes, a los arrozales de Ubud, a descubrir rincones de la isla de Bali y a observar a esos animales que siempre te han fascinado, por su tamaño, por lo que representan: los dragones de Komodo. Casi puedes tocarlos, pero… abres los ojos y se esfuman. No sueñes más y ven con nosotros. ¿Por qué imaginarlo si puedes vivirlo? Salidas: desde enero 2021 hasta octubre 2021 Destinos Visitados: Yakarta, Pangkalanbuun, Taman Nasional Tanjung Puting, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Prambanan, Mojokerto, Sukapura, Banyuwangi, Ubud, Komodo y Cipanas. Categorías: . Día 1: Central Jakarta Llegada al aeropuerto de Yakarta, la capital de Indonesia. Traslado al hotel y entrega de documentación relacionada con el viaje. Alojamiento. Día 2: Central Jakarta ­ Pangkalanbun ­ Tajung Puting Desayuno. Por la mañana, vamos al aeropuerto a tomar un vuelo doméstico a Pangkalanbun, en el Borneo indonesio. Una vez allí vamos a Kumai, donde tomaremos un bote que nos llevará hasta el Parque Nacional de Tajung Puting. Allí embarcaremos en un klotok, un bote tradicional, en el que exploraremos el parque y además pasaremos la noche. Es una especie de casa flotante que navega por el río, de madera.

  • Birds of Tanjung Puting National Park, Kalimantan Tengah a Prelimanary List
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by KUKILA BIRDS OF TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK, KALIMANTAN TENGAH A PRELIMANARY LIST by Bohap bin Jalan and Birute M.F. Galdikas (Received 3 October 1986) INTRODUCTION Tanjung Puting National Park is located on the south coast of Kalimantan (Borneo) in the province of Kalimantan Tengah, between 2"35'S and 3° 20'S and 111° 50' and 112° 15'E. Tanjung Puling was first established as a game reserve in two parts during 1936 and 1937 by the Dutch colonial government and the Sultan of Kotawaringin. Consisting of 305,000 ha the reserve was established primarily for the protection of orang utans Pongo pygmaeus, proboscis monkeys Nasalls larvatus and rhinoceros Dicerorhinus sumatrensis with the latter, however, becoming extinct in the 1940's due to severe hunting pressure for its horns. Orang utans and proboscis monkeys still remain plentiful. In 1982 the status of Tanjung puting was upgraded to National park. The park occupies most of the swampy, alluvial peninsula between Kumai Bay and the Seruyan River. The park is very flat with the highest point no more than 30 m above mean sea level. The soils are generally very poor, heavily leached, poorly developed and very acidic. The Park is drained by a number of small black water rivers radiating from its northern and eastern parts. Ground water forms an important part of all habitats and large areas of the Park are flooded for much of the year. VEGETATION a) Lowland Dipterocarp Forest While the vegetation of Tanjung puling is quite varied, approximately 40t of the Park is covered by dryland forest which approximates Lowland Dipterocarp Forest, although it differs in composition from the better known Dipterocarp Forests elsewhere in Borneo; it is forest with a "tropical heath" appearance.

  • The Kinship Relations of Thai-Lao Communities Along Mekong River Banks: a Case of Mukdahan-Savannakhet Community and Recommendations for Improving Thai-Lao Relations*
    Research Articles The kinship relations of Thai-Lao communities along Mekong River banks: a case of Mukdahan-Savannakhet community and recommendations for improving Thai-Lao Relations* Watunyu Jaiborisudhi1*, Wichian Intasi1 and Ampa Kaewkumkong1 1Institute of East Asian Studies, Thammasat University, Pathum Thani, 12121, Thailand. Abstract Background: The bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos were initially based on a good perception for a long time. It can be said that Thai policy towards relations with Laos was adhered to the old discourse, which believed that Thailand and Laos are Sister Countries, and thus presumed the close tie between them. While Thai myth believed that they were strong bilateral relations, Lao people, on the contrary, believed that the aforementioned discourse implied an insult of Thai people towards Laotian. Objective: 1. To study the cause of the problems concerning the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos. 2. To study the relative advantage of the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos. Results: The study of the comparison of the advantage and disadvantage between Thailand and Vietnam on the relationship with Lao showed that Thailand was relatively disadvantaged in comparison to Vietnam in all aspects. However, the Researcher has proposed the advantage that Thailand possesses over the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos, namely, the kinship relations of the communities along both Mekong River banks included Mukdahan-Savannakhet community which was closely sustained. Discussion: This research is to study the causes of the bilateral relations problem, and to present the advantages over the improving of the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos under the historical research and the concept of National interest.

However, Indonesian primates have suffered many threats due to climate change and altered landscapes that lead to extinction. Therefore, primate conservation planning and strategies are important in maintaining their population. We quantified how extensively the protected areas overlapped primate Citation: Condro, A.A.; Prasetyo, hotspots and how it changes under mitigation and worst-case scenarios of climate change.

  • And Border Area Management
    Volume 13, Number 6, Pages 69 - 79 Trafficking in persons in the North-South, East-West Economic Corridors (EWEC-NSEC-SEC) and Border Area Management Jaturong Boonyarattanasoontorn Social Work and Social Welfare Faculty, Huachiew chalermprakiet University Abstract As well as facilitating land transportation among ASEAN countries, the formation of ASEAN Economic Community and the utilization of the North-South and East-West Economic Corridors has given rise to human trafficking rings. The routes established by ASEAN have been used for transporting trafficking victims. The research “Trafficking in persons in North-South and East-West Economic Corridors and Border Area Management” sheds light on the situation of trafficking in persons in Economic Corridors. Issues were found with varying degrees of severity depending on the local context of each corridor. Major loopholes can be found in natural passages and temporary border checkpoints which have been exploited by trafficking rings from neighboring countries to smuggle victims into Thailand. Travelers from Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam arriving at checkpoints are not aware of the definition and pattern of trafficking in persons and they do not think that they can become trafficking victims. Once they have become trafficking victims, they have no idea how to help themselves out of the situation they are in. Findings from this research are useful for developing recommendations for legal and policy reform. The findings can also be used for border area management, particularly the formation of the “Border Area Development Committee for Sustainable Solutions to Trafficking in Persons” to enhance the prevention and suppression of trafficking in persons.
