Stretching over 1,100 km along the border of Lao and Viet Nam and extending into Cambodia, the rugged Annamite Mountains are a little known biodiversity hotspot, hosting a high concentration of endemic species facing global extinction. Despite not receiving the global attention it deserves, there is more at stake in this region than in almost any other part of the world.
Join our exclusive webinar where Robert Timmins, Saola Foundation Technical Director, will share what makes this such a special place, why it is irreplaceable, and highlight some of the incredible, endemic wildlife whose origins can be traced back to over 10 million years ago.
Hosted by Dr. Lorraine Scotson, CEO of the Saola Foundation, and moderated by Chanthasone “Olay” Phommachanh, Saola Foundation’s Lao Programs Director, this is a seminar not to be missed.
The seminar is free, but registration is required, which you can do here. Local times for the talk are listed below.
