For our extra special Thanksgiving episode we have this week, we not only discuss the smallest the bear in the world, but also joining us is the one and only Wong (the founder) from the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC)! Many thanks to Wong and his team for their beyond phenomenal organization! We loved having you on the show and look forward to having you back in the future!
A little about Wong, he is one of the few Malaysian wildlife biologists who was trained in Taiwan and U.S.A., has been studying and working on the ecological conservation of the sun bear since 1998.
