How Zoos Help Prevent Extinction: Inside The Mandai Wildlife Reserve | Window Into The Wild - Part 2

From animal surgery and breeding to fieldwork and community programmes, see how Mandai Wildlife Reserve works to protect wildlife in Singapore and beyond. Protecting wildlife can begin with a single animal, but the work often stretches across years, disciplines and borders. This episode follows Mandai’s vets, keepers, conservationists and partners as they manage breeding programmes, respond to medical challenges, support species recovery and work across borders. From an orangutan C-section and pangolin care to preparing Vietnam pheasants for a possible return to the wild, we also see how education and community programmes create opportunities for youths and make wildlife experiences more accessible to people with different needs. Together, these stories reveal the science, care and collaboration behind conservation in practice. In partnership with Mandai Wildlife Group.
