Macaranga Wrap-Up is our monthly segment where we take a step back and look at the top environmental news stories making headlines across Malaysia, with the help of environmental journalists and co-founders of Macaranga, Law Yao Hua and Wong Siew Lyn. June has been an interesting month, from a landmark global recognition for a forest reserve in Sabah, to a rare win for wildlife conservation in Sarawak involving a critically endangered langur, and also renewed efforts to clamp down on illegal e-waste in Malaysia. Yao Hua and Siew Lyn join us to unpack what these developments mean.
