As forests are cleared in Borneo to plant crops, Borneo pygmy elephants and other forest-dwelling species are increasingly coming into conflict with humans. Learn about on-the-ground efforts to improve conservation and reduce human-elephant conflicts from Farina Othman, a native Malaysian pursuing her Ph.D. in Conservation Biology and Genetics, and discover how you can join her work to make Borneo a better place for elephants. Event is free.
