The exhibition spans 15 years of Lee’s work in Borneo and the photographs seek to convey the rainforest’s extreme diversity as well as their interconnectedness and fragility.

Nature lovers will be delighted with stunning images of new and lost species and behind each image tells a story of clever adaptations for survival.
