Conservation of Rare Species Through Prey Species

Datuk Dr John Payne, Chief Executive Officer, Bringing Back Our Rare Animals (BORA)

Conservation of Rare Species Through Prey Species

In a follow up interview, we speak to Datuk Dr. John Payne, the CEO of Bringing Back Our Rare Animals (BORA), a pioneering conservation organisation based in Sabah. Originally founded to prevent the extinction of the Sumatran or Hairy rhinoceros, BORA has now expanded its focus to include efforts to boost wild food productivity for endangered species such as Bornean orangutans, elephants, and the often-overlooked native wild cattle species. Dr. Payne shares insights into BORA’s unique approach to wildlife conservation, particularly how enhancing food supply for prey species plays a critical role in sustaining larger predators and promoting ecosystem balance.
