Clouded leopards: tracking genomes for conservation
Clouded leopards are perfectly adapted to the dense forests of Asia, but this habitat is under pressure. How can we protect these elusive mammals and better understand the habitats needed to maintain biodiversity?
Join WildCRU’s Chrishen Gomez in Borneo as a team of researchers spend months in the forest searching for Sunda clouded leopards, tracking their movements and collecting genetic data. The results will help researchers to better understand whether land-use change is impacting the ability of clouded leopards to disperse long distances.
Importantly, the research is also contributing towards conservation efforts, building a picture of how these majestic wild cats interact with the forest and the vast number of species that also call the Bornean rainforest their home.
