Macaranga Wrap-Up is our ongoing monthly series done in collaboration with the co-founders of environmental journalism portal Macaranga, where we cover the top environmental news from the month past. This October, we cover Malaysia's proposed Climate Change Act and what it will hopefully encapsulate, before turning our attention to extra responsibilities for Op Bersepadu Khazanah (OBK) operations, which will now also include safeguarding Malaysia's rare earth element (REE) and mineral deposit sites in forests. Finally we discuss the abrupt cancellation of the multi million ringgit Upper Baram Forest Area project in Sarawak. Joining us this month is Wong Siew Lyn, writer and co-founder of Macaranga.

Climate change, ferocious weather and ‘the haze’ are now part our everyday lives. How are our lifestyles connected to them, and what can we do about it? What does the economy have to do with it? Earth Matters engages with activists and experts to explore our changing relationship with the planet that we only borrow from our children.
