Description

Borneo is a treasure trove of biodiversity and home to one of the oldest rainforests in the world.
It’s also the epicentre of the palm oil industry and so these precious and fragile ecosystems have been ripped wide open, creating opportunity for disease transmission between wildlife, people and their domestic animals.
So what does this mean for the endangered wild cats of Borneo like the Sunda Clouded Leopard and the Flat-Headed Cat?
Guests: Sergio Guerrero (City University of Hong Kong) & Liesbeth Frías (Nanyang Technological University)

Lions, tigers and leopards are just some of the 40 species of wild cat around the world that are under threat. Join me, as we travel to every corner of the globe to hear the incredible stories from the people and communities working to study and protect all species of wild cat. Wild cat conservation is more than just cats - by protecting cats, we save other species in their ecosystems, we help local communities in their habitats and we conserve huge swathes of precious land across the planet. Cats of the Wild is an original, not-for-profit podcast by Andy Varvel.
