We are delighted to see the incredible work of our alumni recognised in BBC One's Asia series!
🐯 This seven-part series is dedicated to revealing Asia's most remarkable landscapes and animals, as well as conservation efforts across the continent, including the dedicated work of our alumni.
👉 The 7th and last episode, "Saving Asia", features 2023 CLP award-winners at The Mobula Project Indonesia - including 2023 CLP trainee Irianies Gozali - and 2022 award-winner Kumar Paudel at Greenhood Nepal.
The episode highlights the efforts of these rising conservation leaders to prevent by-catch of threatened devil rays in Indonesia and the illegal wildlife trade in Nepal.
🗣️ Speaking about this fantastic recognition, Kumar said: "During my MPhil in Cambridge [UK], our classes were held in DAB—The David Attenborough Building. I now find Sir David himself narrating my story in the BBC ASIA series! A dream I did not know I had, came true."
