All five of Malaysia’s gibbon species are endangered, facing threats from deforestation, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. But in the forests of Pahang and Sabah, a group of women are fighting to turn things around. They are Malaysia’s first all-female, all-Indigenous wildlife ranger team, working with the Gibbon Conservation Society to rescue, rehabilitate and return gibbons to the wild. Joining us to share more about this are the Gibbon Conservation Society's Founder, Mariani Ramli, and three of the Indigenous rangers: Melda Yapi, Sunnyda A/P Yok Nun, and Lily A/P Din. The rangers discuss their journey into wildlife conservation, their challenges as Indigenous women working in the field, and their hopes for Malaysia’s gibbons.
