Macaranga Wrap-up: October 2021

We discuss some of the biggest environment-related news from October, with Wong Siew Lyn and Law Yao Hua, the Co-Founders, Co-Editors and Writers from Macaranga, including the Wildlife Conservation (Amendment) Bill 2021, Malaysia's ambitious target of becoming a carbon-neutral nation by as early as 2050, and also the intense and unusual flooding in Penampang, Sabah, and how improperly planned and rampant development may be playing a part in this.
