Produced to raise funds and awareness of nature conservation through their Forest of Hope program, Asia's Wildlife is a mesmerizing year-long photographic journey of the expedition taken by Fanny Lai and photographer Bjorn Olesen.

The Giant Cloud Rat
The majestic Philippine Eagle
The critically endangered Helmeted Hornbill
And many other fascinating creatures!
