46. Guardians of the Red Panda (with Sonam Tashi Lama)

Pangolin: The Conservation Podcast

This week Jack is joined by Sonam Tashi Lama, the Red Panda Network’s Program Coordinator! Sonam is here to discuss what the organisation is doing within Nepal to help safeguard this incredible species. This includes conversations about their research into Red Panda migration and the threat of dogs. The duo also chat about how the Red Panda Network is helping to empower local communities in the fight to save the Red Panda through their education work and Forest Guardian Programs. Finally, they celebrate the fact that Sonam won a 2022 Whitley Award for his fantastic work!

It is also worth noting that this is the second of our Red Panda themed episodes! Last time, Jack was joined by Terrance Fleming to discuss what a Red Panda is, its relationship with the Giant Panda, and how the Red Panda Network works globally to protect the species. Make sure and check that out once you're done here!
