Guest: Law Yao Hua and Wong Siew Lyn, Co-Founders, Macaranga
It's that time of the month where we speak to Law Yao Hua and Wong Siew Lyn, the co-founders of environmental journalism portal Macaranga, for a round-up of top environmental news from August 2024. Today on our list, we look at Sabah's Tawai Forest Reserve, described as "a unique ecological treasure" but which is facing threats from the construction of the Pan Borneo highway. We then turn our attention to orangutan conservation ideas, and plans to pivot from orangutan diplomacy to allocating funds to conservation NGOs already working on orangutan conservation. Finally, we discuss why the Malaysian Bar has rejected a proposal to place Orang Asli matters under the constitution’s Concurrent List.
