- A non-broadcast documentary (made just for fun) filmed during a 2019 expedition led by Stewart McPherson to re-discover Nepenthes mapuluensis and N. epiphytica, two of the least known species of all pitcher plants. Both, having only ever been observed on a couple of occasions.
Nepenthes mapuluensis was first discovered during in 1957, during an expedition by botanist Andrew Klostermans growing on a remote mountain, Mount Illas Mapulu, in Kalimantan, Borneo.
Nepenthes epiphytica was discovered many decades later in the same area by the great Nepenthes explorers, Joachim Nerz and Andreas Wistuba.
Throughout the 20th century, Nepenthes mapuluensis and N. epiphytica remained very little known. A massive fire burnt much of the habitat in the 1990s, and it was feared that both species may be extinct in the wild.
So, in 2019, M.A. Suska, Mamed Bin Anwar, Diego Garrido, Dalton Bridgers, Hannah Bridgers, Michal Golos, James Klech, Edward Lee, Antoine le Lirzin, Mike Perkins and Stewart McPherson set out to re-discover Nepenthes mapuluensis and N. epiphytica to answer the mystery once and for all.
A full account of the re-discovery of Nepenthes mapuluensis and N. epiphytica, as well as many other spectacular new Nepenthes species is provided in the the book title New Nepenthes Volume 2 (available from Redfern Natural History - www.redfernnaturalhistory.com ).
Many thank to our local friends who approved and supported this expedition.
In particular, thanks to our guides, porters and canoemen who made our journey possible: Bapak Heri, Nofianto, Dedi, Gepeng, Irfan, Mus, Adul, Ifan, Wawan and Benny
Whenever I want to see a adventure video, I don’t go for survivor man or bbc, I also go for redfern expeditions, the way he guides us through the obstacles and tells us every detail is just amazing.
I really appreciate you focusing so much on the guides and locals. Often they are what make an expedition possible, but still aren’t recognized very much.
I have the greatest respect for all your expertly made documentaries. This channel is truly underrated!!! Superb narration and composition makes all your videos so engaging. I'm a student from Singapore wishing you all the best in your future expeditions!
I am amazed by the amount of efforts your entire team takes to document these plants. I'm even more amazed by how only few handful of people are interested in learnig, watching or encouraging your channel, while a simple gobbling video has millions of views and subscribers ! Thank you so much for making these videos.
Please release more of these! I’ve binged all that you released and I need more, I’m this close to booking my own trip!
Same here! Would love more of them. These documentaries are inspiring me to go there soon.
I enjoyed every minute of it.
Same
Yes na
superb story telling - kept me engaged to see if you found the nepenthes all the way through
Indonesia, this is my country... i'm living in the small village, and you can find countless "hidden gems" in this country from forest to sea, many unexplored spot...
😍👍👏👏
I love Indonesia 🥰
I am SO ready for more amazing new videos and documentaries from this channel! This will always be my comfort channel to watch
Wow what an amazing video. How does this not have ten million views, that is the real mystery
This needs way more views.
broooooo they legit planted a pepper bush up there so they don't have to carry hot sauce with them
that's fucking hilarious, these guys are awesome, I wanna hang out with them
Your channel has the best Nepenthes videos on UA-cam!
Amazing! You deserve one million likes at least!! Thanks for sharing such stunning experience!!
love all your expeditions Stewart, thanks for filming and sharing. Borneo is just the most amazing island on earth. Those karst mountains remind me of climbing through karst near Kuching :)
Loved it Stew. Thanks for the amazing videos. :)
This is one of the coolest videos I have ever watched. I still don’t understand how it has so little views.
🥰👏👏
I was waiting so much for these videos
It's 38 past midnight here now, thought of going to sleep. Well, screw sleeping.
I wasn't joking lol
@@roneven3420 we’re damn serious mate
Yeah 🥰
Insane nepenthes Mapulensis traps! So big and beautiful! Definitely want to see more! :D Would've been interesting to see what can be found inside with these in situ carnivorous plants.
What a wonderfully told and thoroughly lovey hidden gem of a documentary this is. Very reminiscent of the BBC documentaries of the 1990s that I grew up with.
Amazing! Keep the awesome work!
Marvellous video that is worth watching over and over. 😍
Excellent video safe journey home thanks for sharing 🍃🍃🤠🍃🍃
This is fantastic! reminds me of old Attenborough documentaries.
💞💞💞💞☘️🍀🍀🍀

Love your passion for conservation and curiosity of nature, Stewart. Thank you for bringing us with you on your adventures!! Absolutely love your films
Epic video!
finally, been looking forward to this!
Don't worry! Another 6 expedition films are coming! Will get next ones done asap! Really hope you enjoy! ;-)
@@redfernexpeditions This is top quality stuff, thank you so much!
@@redfernexpeditions apologies for the late comment, but I've been wondering something about nepenthes for quite a while:
How do nepenthes (highland ones especially) spread across different mountains? Things like edwardsiana appearing on Kinabalu and tambuyukon, lowii on trus madi and kinabalu... are there any theories on how they end up where they are?
They're highlanders and can't spread from mountain to mountain via the lowland valleys, they're restricted to certain altitudes, and nepenthes seeds definitely don't have the aerodynamics to fly from mountain to mountain.
Thank you!
Inspiring to say the least
Lovely!
19:15 wow. OK I'm new to this channel and wonder what Ive been missing. This is amazing.
I LOVE THESE EXPEDITION VIDEOS!!! Thank you for sharing them with us.
Hmm👍🥰

You found yourself in a bird's nest burglary ring! So funny!
The Chinese they love the bird net soup. They believe the soup can boost up the body immune system.
Thx for the programme. It is a great one.
Bagus!

Modern day Indiana Jones! Enjoyed every second of this movie!

Amazing work , protect nepenthes. Can I order books for France? they are ready ?

OLE SCHOOL BOTANY MY MAN EXCELLENT
RIP Mamed. 🙏🤲
We need a re discovery of nepenthes robcantleyi 👀
I will say it again that Stewart McPherson should be Sir David Attenborough's successor.
Stewart is like the David Attenborough of nepenthes videos
Hi ! Have you discovered any nepenthes lately ?
yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!
That orchid is a Goodyera, not a Ludisia.
Oh - thanks very much. My apologies, and thanks for the correction!
Kantong Semar/ Bunga Ceret kalau di Indonesia.
the mousedeers the tour guides have killed are considered endangered species, hope u had a permit fr. DENR
SAMAR.........
Super High price of Nepenthes making it like Gold to Poachers, but if the Nepenthes will be just as the price of a dozen eggs, then it will no longer be Gold for Poachers......
FOR YOU WHO ARE READING, JESUS LOVES YOU. THE CROSS IS NOT TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE GUILTY, BUT THE CROSS IS TO SHOW THAT YOU HAVE VALUE TO GOD. HE OVERCOME DEATH ON THE THIRD DAY.
HE LOVES YOU! HE MADE THE SACRIFICE FOR EVERYONE. BECAUSE JESUS WANTS TO TAKE US TO ETERNITY TOGETHER
WITH HIM. WE DON'T DESERVE SALVATION, WE ARE SINNERS, BUT IF WE REPENT, THE BLOOD OF JESUS FORGIVES OUR SINS, HE HEALS US, JESUS GIVES US ETERNAL LIFE.
BELIEVE IN JESUS 🙏🙏🙏
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Commit your life to Jesus Christ so that he may be the Lord and Savior of your life and that you too may receive eternal life. May God bless you and your family in Jesus' name.
JESUS CHRIST LIVES...
