Despite being home to some of the world’s most unique species, Malaysia ranks 106th on the 2024 Nature Conservation Index (NCI), underscoring both its rich biodiversity, and the many risks it faces. The index, which evaluates conservation efforts globally, points to challenges like land management, invasive species, and climate change as key areas for improvement. We speak to biologist Chrishen Gomez from Oxford’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, to discuss the NCI’s methodology and findings, and what Malaysia’s rank indicates for its nature conservation efforts.
