Asian elephants are iconic, intelligent, and a vital part of our natural heritage, but here in Malaysia, they face an uncertain future. Habitat loss, human–elephant conflict, infrastructure cutting through their ranges, and other growing threats have put immense pressure on their populations. Yet, hope remains, through groundbreaking research, innovative conflict mitigation strategies, and renewed efforts to foster coexistence between people and elephants. In this World Elephant Day special, we’ll explore what it really takes to share a landscape with these gentle giants with Associate Professor Dr. Wong Ee Phin (Principal Investigator, Management & Ecology of Malaysian Elephants (MEME)/ Nottingham University Malaysia) and Professor Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz (Principal Investigator, Megafauna Ecology and Conservation Research Group, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden).Listen to our World Elephant Day Special on Bornean Elephants here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
