Priscillia Miard

Priscillia Miard is a Postgraduate Student (PhD) from Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang studying nocturnal mammal distribution, abundance and behaviour. She is also focusing on their habitat preferences and impact of anthropogenic activities. She has created a platform called Night Spotting Project to bring more light to nocturnal mammals research and awareness on their importance in the wild. This platform has the objective of empowering more researchers to study nocturnal mammals in Malaysia. Priscillia has an MSc in Primate Conservation from Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, UK. Her research focus are the lesser known nocturnal species such as slow loris, tarsier and colugo. She has five years of field work experience with behavioural studies, distribution survey, local knowledge of people living closely to animals as well as using new technologies for field work such as thermal imaging.

THE HABITAT HUB – FEB 2021

EVENTS

Habitalk: Selami dan Dekati bersama Husni Che Ngah

Husni Che Ngah is a Penang-based macrophotographer whose images of Malaysian wildlife have come to captivate and mesmerize us with their detail. Through his lens we gain a new appreciation of creatures so small that we often miss noticing them at all. Husni will be taking us another special journey this March! Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the visual feast and to interact with Husni. This free Habitalk will be in Bahasa Malaysia and will be streamed live on Facebook and our YouTube Channel.

Habitalk: The Bats of Penang — Our Invisible Heroes

For our next Habitalk, we sent out a bat-signal to Dr. Nurul ‘Ain Elias to help us learn about the bats of Penang. From her research we know that there are at least 16 species of bats in our urban environment performing various services under cover of night. Join us for this live webinar on Youtube and Facebook to find out more about these elusive creatures. This free virtual talk will be live streamed on 24 February at 5 PM. Save the date and watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fXiWH940Crc.
