Macaranga Wrap-up: January 2021

In our first Earth Matters episode 2021, Wong Siew Lyn and Law Yao Hua, the co-founders of local journalism portal Macaranga.org join us to share environmental news from January. First, we discuss what the MCO2.0 and the nationwide emergency might mean for the environment, before turning to a discussion on the recent flooding, and whether logging was to blame for it. And finally, as we all stay home to stay safe, we look at which online seminar and classes we can busy ourselves with, in the coming days and weeks.
