I've always wanted to check out the Philippines, and living in Asia for the last couple of years finally afforded us the opportunity to do a bit of exploring. Ever heard of Palawan? It's a series of islands to the west of the main Philippines islands, quite off the beaten track and home of the famous Underground River, a UNESCO World Heritage site that is considered to be the world's longest underground river. Conde Naste magazine recently awarded Palawan the best island award as part of their 2014 Travel Awards - and here's why.

- Comments: Cynthia House | Wow, having just seen a wonderful program on TV about this very place it was great seeing your photos and reading about it. From what I saw I had already been heartened to know it was a pristine and as yet unspoilt part of the world. So gratifying to hear about a magical place on earth that hasn't been plundered and the wildlife fighting for it's existence. May it stay that way forever.

- Comments: Rowena Ward | Hi Tammy, I was at DSWT last month and sponsored baby Mbegu for my sister to foster as they share birthdays - how else can you choose which little treasure to sponsor? What a wonderful set-up the Trust is but such a great pity it has to exist at all. I met Edwin Lusichi too - such a committed and inspirational man as are all the keepers.
- Comments: Tammie | Hi Rowena, lucky you - what a privilege to spend time with those gorgeous little babies at DSWT. Yes Edwin is a legend. I was so impressed with the lengths they go to to make sure the orphans receive not just their biological needs, but also their emotional needs. As Daphne says, if you don't love a baby elephant, it just won't make it, so this is part of their rehabilitation.
