It's our final wrap-up of the year with the folks from local journalism portal Macaranga, Wong Siew Lyn and Law Yao Hua. On the show today, we have a wide-ranging discussion on environment-related news from 2021, related to forests (and deforestation), wildlife conservation, and also the outcomes of COP26, while also looking forward to what might be in 2022. You can find out how to support Macaranga's independent brand of environmental journalism here.
