Thumbs up Borneo's Wild Gliders
Flying snakes, anyone? Stumbled on this article in Digg. A look into the fascinating wildlife in Borneo.

Quote:
From snakes and frogs to giant squirrels, this Southeast Asian island is home to a greater variety of flying animals than any other place on Earth.
Thought you guys might want to take a look.

I suppose the big problem for gliders in Borneo is loss of habitat to forestry. In Australia, it seems to be road traffic - but it can be alleviated:
