Biodiversity From Malaysia: Otters, Bantengs and Fungi

In this episode, we celebrate International Day for Biological Diversity by looking at no other place than home: Malaysia has so much to offer, from its dense forests to sprawling wetlands, and species that play a vital role in our ecosystem. We dive into three incredible treasures—Playful otters navigating our waterways, the rare and famously shy Bornean bantengs, and the mysterious world of mushrooms and fungi thriving beneath our feet.
