Wild Stories, Wilder Causes

Lara Ariffin is an award-winning filmmaker whose passion for conserving wildlife has shaped her stunning documentaries, including the acclaimed online documentary series Layar Liar. As the President of Persatuan Pelindung Harimau Malaysia or RIMAU, a citizen-driven NGO dedicated to protecting the Malayan tiger, Lara is also a powerful advocate for Malaysia's incredible but fast-disappearing biodiversity. We catch up with Lara for updates on RIMAU's work, and also for a behind-the-scenes look at Layar Liar's latest series of documentaries which showcase fascinating animals that live in our Malaysian rainforest, and the people working to protect them.
