Skip to the content The Asia-Pacific region harbours incredible
biological diversity and unique landscapes, and is home to some
of the planet’s most iconic species, such as the orang-utan and
Asian elephant. Today the region’s wildlife and wild places face
myriad and mounting threats. High human population densities and
rapid economic growth combined with low levels of environmental
control and widespread rural poverty place enormous pressure on
the region’s biodiversity, ecosystems and natural resources. FFI
is working over a range of landscapes from the frozen highlands
and deserts of the Tibetan Plateau through the temperate forests
of Indochina to the tropical rainforests and reefs of Indonesia
to help conserve some of the region’s most important species and
habitats.
