Join us on Saturday 29th March as the Saola Foundation Research Associate, Minh Nguyen, explores the secretive life of one of the rarest and probably most threatened deer species, the Critically Endangered Large-antlered Muntjac. Less than one-fourth the size of Red Deer and Wapiti, this muntjac inhabits a challenging world hidden in the dense forests of the Annamites. Over hundreds of thousands of years, the species has adapted to survive the dangers of the Annamites, but a new risk has emerged. Humans are now encroaching on its world; will the species manage to escape extinction?
The talk is free, but registration is required, which you can do here. Local times for the talk are listed below.
