After a long long break I’m excited to be back and bring you one of the stories that inspired me the most since I started Forest Builders podcast. It’s one of these stories that resonate so deeply that you can't help but share them over and over.

Chanee’s story is incredible. He became fascinated by gibbons at a very young age and spent his free time outside school trying to understand them. By the time he was 16 he wrote a book about the gibbons, and by the time he was barely 18 he was already in the forests of Asia looking at how he could save them. 30 years later, he is still there, doing the same thing, savings gibbons by finding ways to save their habitat in Kalimantan.

Forest Builders is a podcast hosted by Khanh-Linh bringing to you the stories of people who dedicate their work to the preservation of our forests. From guerilla activists to venture capitalists, from law makers to community volunteers, our guests come in all kind of shapes but they share one common thing – they found their way to action. Forest Builders is a podcast by Nature Builders Podcasts, a podcast series bringing the spotlight on conservation heroes and their stories.
