The jungle never truly sleeps, it just changes its tune. 🎶
Meet Dr. Priscillia Miard. She listens to the forest in a way most of us never do. As a senior lecturer at UMS and a leading researcher in nocturnal mammals and bioacoustic, her work helps us understand and protect the species that only come out when the sun goes down.
By joining the Danum Mountain Bike Race, you’re directly funding this vital bioacoustic research in Danum Valley. 🚴♀️
Turn up the volume and listen to why we race.
