An Indonesian here. It makes me jealous and a bit ashamed sometimes that most people studying my country's nature are foreign scientists/ researchers. Our government and private sectors rarely take an interest in natural science to the point where a sufficient amount of funding for research is as scarce as hen's teeth. This is made worse by the attitude of most politicians who value research's worth only by the invention it makes not the discovery. In other words, they would only fund research that leads to an invention which they can then capitalize for profits. While knowledge discovery is worthless to them.

Thank you for the wonderful experience this video has given me as an armchair traveller. Fantastic Nepenthes!

You’ve again delighted this subscriber! And many thanks for honouring Sir Richard Attenborough. In doing so, you have brought honour upon yourselves.

Such a captivating story. Thank you for sharing it with us! That guide who had the accident sure is a trooper.

How have I never seen this channel before? I love Nepenthes!

Humanity as a great deal to be thankful for dedicated botanists.

This is indeed an adventure and great discovery ❤

My wife and I just visited her family in Narra in December 2022. I had no idea about these recent discoveries of large pitcher plants on Mt. Victoria. I've always been fascinated by them. Thanks for the video!

thank you for this video. I love my country (Philippines).

So amazing! Thanks for sharing your adventure with the rest of us! Looking forward to seeing more!

Simply amazing! Thank you very much for making this documentry and helping to sustain these great forms of art/plants.

The Philippines is just blessed with such great biodiversity

Love your work, keep it up. It's very educational

Great story! I have one on these Nepethes attenboroughii in cultivation for more than two years now.. It is producing beautiful pitchers, but only about 1 to 2 inches in length. Along with my sprawling Nepenthes tenuis, it is my favorite pitcher plant. looking forward to receiving Mr. McPherson's three volume set on Nepenthes, which is reportedly now at the printers.

Thnk you for this awesome video

Very nice video. Thank you very much for share your experience

STUNNING IMAGES..UNBELIEVABLE DISCOVERIES ...GREAT PRESENTATION. SHAME ON ALL THOSE WHO CHOOSE INSTEAD......TO DESTROY IT.......

I did very much enjoy Climbing Mt Victoria and seeing this great plant with my own eyes, was a tough climb too & making some great friends on the trip ,seeing this vid brought back great memory's of my trips seeing nepenthe's all over Asia , thanks Stew

Wow. What an adventure!!!

Hello there, For a few years this has been a favourite video of mine, as well as all of the expedition videos you've ever shared. Though, I do remember that a few years ago I watched a video in which you've described the expedition where Nepenthes palawanensis was discovered. I tried to search for the video again, and couldn't find it anywhere. Has it been deleted? Could you please re-upload it if so? Thank you very much.

thanks for the movie...

Grettings from Germany and thanks for your fantastic videos

Well made! Thanks for sharing this great adventure and documentary. Better than many actual broadcast and not-for-fun documentaries. ;-)

Absolutely lovely video! FYI, Palawan in Tagalog is pronounced "Palaawan", with the double aa being a long vowel.

Incredible story I have 2 different kinds. Don’t know there names , 1 is huge pitchers red spotted with hairs on side and long big 12 inch leaves Ive only had it a couple months. Can’t wait to see what it does😁 I live on the big island of Hawaii at about 1500 feet lots of rain , heat and humidity

Good job I want to go there

4:20 what a gesture. I assume Stewart learned this gesture in Sumatera. (touching your heart/left chest after a hand shake)

Those missionaries discovered this plant should be recognized Stewart.

You can buy pitcher plants from Amazon but predatory plants is a better website to buy them from

Tbh sundews are my favorite speces of carnivorous plant or even my favorite plant.

Expeditions are done to strip the world of its beauty ,the king will turn the world into world of wonders and amazement

It's a Victreebell 😊, but seriously though cool plant.

thank you for visiting Palawan we love you

The guide that accidentally cuts himself was very manly to continue the journey.

did you ever get to name any of these plants?

it would be a dream to go out recherche and go on expeditions and discover more insectivorous plants its a dream to go to Borneo.

Amazing experience! Too bad the nepenthes isn't a lowland species, or I would be tempted to buy one!

There are plenty of lowland species! Just make sure to get yours from a proper grower that's not engaged in poaching.

Rise of the Nepenthes genus is pitcher plants!

The pitcher obviously DID evolve to catch vertibrates, because it caught one pretty easily. A bucket of water is the best mouse-trap.

@eyesclosed3709

It's definitely hard to imagine the plant evolved to have very large, wide pitchers for any other reason than to catch large prey, such as rodents and lizards

Why did you cut the shrew pitcher open???

Bug eating plants can also be used in farms.

I always wanted to b a botanist ...it was my childhood dream... I also want to explore forest mountains...😑

i want those beautiful dracaena's in my house lol

How does it even evolve like that? Like what made it look the way it did?! Did a bug poop on the middle of a leaf and evolved like that?!

Daaayum

Omg is that nepthes plants?

Did the locals have a name for this pitcher? Surely they had come across it before 2008

the wild banana we make pickle the taste is sour like cucumber. so many cucumber in my village tambunan north borneo.

And here we are in 2021 where u can find nepenthes in my apartament🙈

THE GUIDES are TRUE MEN of the Forest

Most are unexplored because most of the mountains and islands on Palawan is protected by their local tribes. They rarely allow anyone to step foot there to protect the forest and its habitat. Even people from surrounding cities there has never been that place for the same reason.

How do you manage to get "stuck on a mountain"?
