In Search of Sumatra's Incredible Plants and Other Wildlife (Part Two)

In this final episode of the Sumatra series, I join Indonesian botanist and conservationist Pungky Nanda Pratama to go in search of some of Sumatra’s incredible plants and other wildlife in the south and west of the island. I aim to share some of the lesser known species in this region and the threats that plants and other wildlife are facing, along with some potential solutions.

Pungky's work can be followed on his Instagram account:   / pungkynandapratama  

All footage is filmed by myself unless stated otherwise. I’d like to thank the local guides and conservationists who helped me find the species I was hoping to see.
