Macaranga Wrap-Up: March 2025

As we close off March, time to look back at some of the top environmental news from the month past, with the co-founders of environmental journalism portal, Macaranga. Together we discuss some current legal disputes being played out in court involving Orang Asli communities, who are facing issues such as destruction of their ancestral land and cultural heritage. We also discuss the supposed pro's and con's CCUS, seeing as how the Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage Bill 2025 (CCUS Bill 2025) was passed earlier this month by the Dewan Rakyat. Looking forward to April – these second Semai & Tuai event will be happening at the end of the month, organised by Macaranga - Yao Hua and Siew Lyn share what's in store at this event for all.
