World Wildlife Day 2023: (Some of) Malaysia's Marvellous Mammals

It's World Wildlife Day on the 3rd of March, an annual UN International day to celebrate all the world's wild animals and plants and the contribution that they make to our lives and the health of the planet.

You'll hear more about sun bears from Dr Wong Siew Te, (CEO and Founder, Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre) Sunda clouded leopards from Chrishen Gomez (biologist and researcher, WildCRU, University of Oxford), and finally Sunda pangolins from Elisa Panjang (Pangolin Conservation Officer, Danau Girang Field Centre) and Dr Chong Ju Lian (Associate Professor & Lecturer, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu).
