Dlium Wilderness adventure with family and children

Find out information

It is very important to know the adventure area that will be explored with the family. Look for light tracks, especially for children. Try to look for wilderness with safe tracks and areas that are drier or not too much water.

Give illustrations and motivation

Choose comfortable and safe shoes

Nothing can replace the comfort of explorers in the wild besides shoes. Choose those that are designed to protect ankles and anti-slip. Be sure to wear socks to the knees to avoid injury, and insect bites. Avoid using open sandals for children.

Bring enough supplies

Children need energy to do adventure. Bring a large bottle of drinking water and light snacks that are full, such as whole wheat bread. Avoid too much sugar eaten during the trip.

Teach ethics in the wild

The wild is useful for learning to respect one another. Teach children to respect plants along the track and do not carelessly pick, always keep calm and do not throw litter.

Six new species forming the Sumbana species group in genus Nemophora Hoffmannsegg 1798 from Indonesia

NEWS - Sumbawa longhorn ( Nemophora sumbana Kozlov, sp. nov.), Timor longhorn ( Nemophora timorella Kozlov, sp. nov.), shining shade longhorn ( Nemophora umbronitidella Kozlov, sp. nov.), Wegner longhorn ( Nemophora wegneri Kozlov, sp. nov.), long brush longhorn ( Nemophora longipeniculella Kozlov, sp. nov.), and short brush longhorn ( Nemophora brevipeniculella Kozlov, sp. nov.) from the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia.

The oldest of these islands have been continuously occurring for 10–12 million years. This long period of isolation has allowed significant in situ diversification, making the Lesser Sundas home to many endemic species. This island chain may act as a two-way filter for organisms migrating between the world's two great biogeographic regions, Asia and Australia-Papua. The recognition of a striking cli...
