Ep. 8: Remembering Bears with Animals Asia & Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre
Welcome to the eighth episode of the Remembering Wildlife Podcast Series, where host Amy delves into the fascinating realm of bear conservation. In this episode, we are honored to be joined by two distinguished guests, Dr. Jill Robinson OBE from Animals Asia and Dr. Wong Siew Te from the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. Both organisations have been supported by proceeds from the Remembering Wildlife books, a collection of books that depicts the lives of eight captivating species through the lenses of over 250 extraordinary wildlife photographers.
In the first part of the episode, Dr. Jill Robinson shares her unbelievable journey and mission to rescue every bear from bear bile farms across China and Vietnam. Hear about the hundreds of bears that have already been rescued and found hope in Animals Asia sanctuaries, where the motto "leave no bear behind" encapsulates their extraordinary mission.
In the second part, we venture to Borneo with Dr. Wong Siew Te, who unfolds the complex logistical challenges of rehabilitating and releasing sun bears into the dense Bornean forest. Discover why collaring is a crucial aspect of this process and gain insight into the intricate work involved in ensuring the successful reintroduction of sun bears into their natural habitat.
This episode is a deeply moving journey that exemplifies the unwavering determination of those at the forefront of bear conservation.
