The Geographical Podcast, Editor’s Picks: Tracking the elusive snow leopard

15 May 2024
< 1 minute

In this episode of Editor’s Picks: tracking leopards in Ladakh, a bizarre new policy in Malaysia and the terrifying story of climate change and brain health


In this weekly edition of The Geographical Podcast, we read out three articles from our print magazine or website.

In this episode, Geographical writer Stuart Butler heads to the high, frozen plains of Ladakh in northern India in an attempt to fulfil a life-long dream and catch sight of a snow leopard. In Malaysia, we report on a bizarre policy to gift orangutans to major palm oil consumers. And, neuroscientist Clayton Aldern reports on the little-known impacts of climate change on brain and neurological health.

Find the episode here, or wherever you usually listen to podcasts:
