Macaranga Wrap-Up: May 2025

It’s been a busy month for environmental news in Malaysia, from courtrooms to highland roads and wildlife crossings. In this roundup with the co-founders of environmental journalism portal Macaranga - Law Yao Hua and Wong Siew Lyn - we’re taking a closer look at three major stories that grabbed headlines in May: a key court decision involving Bukit Cherakah forest reserve, a controversial road project planned for Cameron Highlands, and the tragic death of an elephant calf that once again raises questions about human-wildlife conflict and habitat fragmentation.
