Singapore is one of the smallest countries on the planet, and its rapid rise from a small trading settlement to a bustling modern metropolis has destroyed 95% of its historical forests, driving the extinction of many species of animals. The islands were once home to the Malayan Tiger and the Indo-Chinese leopard and today, there is just one species of wild cat left in Singapore - the leopard cat - with around 50 individuals estimated to be in the wild.
Whilst the leopard cat may be relatively common in some other countries, for Singaporeans, protecting this cat - their last wild cat - is incredibly important. So in this episode, we're going to meet Vilma D'Rozario and Marcus Chua from the community-run Singapore Wild Cat Action Group to learn more about the leopard cat and how they engage Singaporeans to help protect and save their last wild cat.
