Otters are more than just cute faces, they are top predators in the wetland food chain and guardians of ecosystem balance.

We speak with wildlife biologist Woo Chee Yoong and Rimbun Dahan’s Bilqis Hijjas about the event and the broader mission to protect Malaysia’s wetlands and their wild inhabitants.
