In this episode, we’re joined by Fraser Cook, a PhD student and researcher focusing on biodiversity management, botany, and plant conservation, with a particular emphasis on the sustainability of ornamental plants in Indonesia. Having recently secured significant funding, Fraser is set to embark on extensive fieldwork across various regions in Indonesia, including West Kalimantan, Lampung, and South Sulawesi, areas closely tied to the ornamental plant trade.
