Macaranga Wrap-Up: July 2024

As July wraps up, we too want to bring you a roundup of the top environmental news from the month past, with the co-founders of environmental journalism portal, Macaranga. Wong Siew Lyn and Law Yao Hua join us once again, first to discuss Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage efforts in Malaysia, which have been ramping up significantly, and why it's being championed as a climate solution. In conjunction with Global Tiger Day celebrated on the 29th of July, we also take a look at how our Malayan tigers are doing, and discuss the sad cases of tiger deaths which have increased significantly in the last 12 months. Finally, we look at the historic floods that happened in Penampang in Sabah, and whether there are solutions to this long-standing crisis.
