Land snails are not cute or cuddly. They are also slimy. This might make them a hard sell for conservation. Fortunately, they do grow on you. The deeper you delve into the world of snails, slugs and semi-slugs, the more fascinating they become!
Join us as we follow Assoc. Prof. Dr. Liew Thor Seng, recipient of a 2022 THF Research Grant, in his exploration of the forest of Penang Hill to assess the diversity of land snails present. The aim: to contrast the latest assessment with one from scientists more than 153 years ago to learn something about how wildlife assemblages are changing in response to human activity and climate change!
