Episode 57 | Conserving Borneo's Primates and Felines with Dr. Susan Cheyne | Wildlife Foundation

Borneo is a biodiversity hotspot and home to some of the world’s most iconic and endangered species, such as orangutans, clouded leopards, and proboscis monkeys. However, this Southeast Asian rainforest is facing severe deforestation, driven largely by palm oil production and tropical timber logging. In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, Dr. Susan Cheyne, co-director of the Borneo Nature Foundation International, shares her insights into the conservation efforts to protect Borneo's unique wildlife. From her decades of research on primates and felines to the devastating impact of slash-and-burn deforestation, Susan delves into the challenges and solutions for safeguarding one of the world’s most threatened rainforests.
