34. The Tamaraw

Conservationists Assemble

The Conservationists Assemble is back with volume 34!

Tune into this episode where we roam into the unknown world of the dwarf buffalo, the Tamaraw, with our special guest, Fiona Sach. Fiona is the zoo conservation impact manager at the Zoological Society of London and the EEP coordinator for the remote style Tamaraw programme.

In this episode, Fiona enlightens us on what we know about this fantastic animal, the threats they face and the different organisations and efforts in conserving the world's smallest buffalo. A particularly interesting topic of conversation focuses on how zoos are involved in Tamaraw conservation despite there being no Tamaraw outside of the Philippines.
