  • Rising mist spills over the forested plateau of Maliau Basin, a large conservation area in the remote interior of northern Borneo. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Morning sunlight scarcely penetrates the dense mist rising from virgin rainforest in the proposed Ulu Baleh National Park. This area is located deep in the remote interior of Sarawak, close to the geographic center of Borneo. Sarawk, Malaysia.

  • A pre-dawn light casts a blue glow over rising mist in Sabah's Danum Valley Conservation Area, northern Borneo. Sabah, Malaysia.

  • A lone emergent Tapang (Koompassia excelsa) tree towers above the mist-shrouded canopy of the Borneo rainforest to catch the morning sun. This is one of the tallest tropical tree species with recorded heights of over 85 meters. Sabah, Malaysia.

  • Cloud forest. Mashpi Amagusa Reserve, Pichincha, Ecuador.

  • The steep karst formations of the Subis Limestone Complex of Niah National Park hold numerous large caverns, among which are numerous important archaeological sites. The presence of humans in Niah Cave has been dated to about 40,000 years ago, making it the oldest known settlement in East Malaysia. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Few habitat transitions are as abrupt as that of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas: when approached from the inland side, one rises quickly through a parched savannah of deciduous trees and cacti into a rich evergreen forest. Finally, at the crest of the mountains where the cool moist air from the Pacific rises up the windward slopes, the forest is suddenly drenched in dense cloud; here, the tree branches are heavily laden with mosses, orchids, and other delicate epiphytes. This enchanting habitat is home to the Horned Guan, Resplendent Quetzal, and many other remarkable creatures that are dependent on the cool moist forests. El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, Chiapas, Mexico.

  • Although the canopy of the Borneo rainforest is bathed in the heat of the equatorial sun, as little as 5 percent of sunlight reaches the forest floor. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Large tree pandans (Pandanus sp.) dominate an open landslip on a mountain slope in Sumatra. West Sumatra, Indonesia.

  • Forest on limestone hill. Ha Giang, Vietnam.

  • Cloud forest is a widespread biome in mountains of Central and South America, where hot humid equatorial air rises into the cool mountains.  Here the humidity and precipitation are so high that the trees frequently become covered with epiphytic bromeliads and orchids. Henri Pittier National Park, Venezuela.

  • Cloud forest. Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania.

  • A clearing in raiforest is dominated by wild banana trees (Musa sp.). Ha Giang, Vietnam.

  • Dense mist often cloaks Borneo's rainforest at dawn, this being the water vapor rising from the transpiration of the forest itself. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • A twisted liana winds its way into the canopy among the virgin rainforest of Tawau Hills National Park in northern Borneo. Home to some of the tallest tropical trees in the world, the forests in these hills is inhabited by a rich diversity of wildlife. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • An aerial view reveals the thick mist rising from the canopy after heavy rains on virgin rainforest in northern Borneo. These forests often receive over 4000ml of rain annually. Sabah, Malaysia.

  • At nightfall, a Tepui Tree Frog (Tepuihyla obscura) emerges from the folds of a carnivorous bromeliad (Brocchinia reducta) in which it has sheltered for the day. Although receiving rain almost daily, the summits of Venezuela’s tepui mountains are exposed to volatile weather patterns, with mist often giving way to brutally intense sunlight over a span of a few minutes. A lack of shade-providing trees means that there is little to protect delicate animals such as amphibians, hence these water-filled bromeliads provide an ideal refuge from the harsh climate fluctuations. The slippery wax-coated leaves, which are designed to trap insects, are no hindrance to the frogs. Canaima National Park, Venezuela.

  • A waterfall cascades over the immense cliff of Mount Roraima, but dissipates into a fine mist before reaching the ground. Canaima National Park, Venezuela.
