In 2017, ClearWing Foundation for Biodiversity supported an expedition to Malaysian rainforests. Our Board, Marta Skowron Volponi and Paolo Volponi went for one and a half months to the primeval rainforest of Taman Negara, Malaysia in search of clearwing moths.
During the expedition one species of clearwing moth new to science and one which had been lost for over 130 years were found! The results of their field studies were originally published in ZooKeys and Tropical Conservation Science. Later, through a press release by Global Wildlife Conservation, they were picked up by numerous media, such as The Guardian, Science Magazine, The Scientist and The Dodo, among others.
