The "Spawn" of a New Era of Environmental Changemakers

Malaysia may have been excluded from the Leaders Summit on Climate that is being hosted by the US, but young conservationist, Quek Yew Aun, HAS been included in the North American Association for Environmental Education  "2021 EE 30 under 30 Changemaker" list, thanks to all his efforts to promote awareness on marine conservation. We celebrate this young conservationist's success on the global stage, and find out what the project Reef Spawn is all about, and how it hopes to inspire a new generation of changemakers.
