		<title>Bragging Rights to Giant Pitta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rounding a bend in the trail I spotted something large, blue and pitta-like bouncing away from me. Boing! boing! boing! and it was gone. I knew immediately what it was even though I had never seen one before. Damn! Damn! Damn! I cursed. There was no question that that was a Giant Pitta but in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arkitrek Birthday Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photos by Evangeline Majawat

A good crowd turned up at Kampung Kipouvo last weekend to help Arkitrek celebrate it&#8217;s official one year birthday. The event was organised by Kipouvo Community Homestay to feature a hazardous blend of sporting endeavour both on the pitch and around the rice wine vat. These are Kadazan people after all.

		<title>The Tower to The Memory of a Tree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This structure of the strangler figs is clearly legible - in architectural jargon it could be called celebrated. It occurs out of a sequence of growth. In a dynamic and dramatic display over time the host tree is finally broken in several places, crushed, twisted and sometimes left hanging in a cathedral like arrangement of root columns. At the end of the fig tree’s story is a strong, tall structure of an ex epiphyte. But what is also left standing is the imprint of a tree, a hollow space that echoes of the past. ]]></description>

		<title>BRL Renovation Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Renovation of the main building at Borneo Rainforest Lodge is the biggest thing in Arkitrek’s short history. With the client spending two million ringgit on construction alone (not including fit out) the pressure has been and still is considerable. walking around the site this evening I felt a little surge of ‘wow, we might actually pull this off’. There are three more weeks before the lodge reopens and a lot of hard work to be done before then.]]></description>

		<title>Trogon Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not every day is a trogon day but sometimes when you head into the forest there is an air of expectation that you’ll see a trogon. Of course in those circumstances you never see one and it’s when you least expect it that they put in an appearance.]]></description>
