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. Malaysia is of course recognized as one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world, meaning it is one of the top biodiversity-rich countries and home to many animals including sun bears, Malayan tigers, Sunda Clouded Leopards, Asian elephants, pangolins and more. On this episode of Earth Matters, we revisit some of our previous coverage of Malaysia's incredible wildlife, from our miniseries The ABC's of Biodiversity, where we explore why biodiversity loss is our. 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).
