Guest: Adam Farhan, Director, RimbaWatch

We catch up with Adam Farhan, the Director of environmental watchdog RimbaWatch, for updates on some of the research and analysis they have been focussing on over the last few months. First, we look back at the State of the Malaysian Rainforest 2024 report which was released back in May, which found that up to 3.2 million hectares of Malaysian rainforests are at risk – an area nearly the size of Pahang. Then, we turn our attention to two recent reports released by RimbaWatch, first on the proposed oil and gas project in the Tun Mustapha Marine Park (TMP) which is sparking serious environmental and human rights concerns, and finally we look at the Balingian coal mine over in Sarawak, and the climate, biodiversity and transparency-related issues that have been raised in connection with the project.
