Sad, terrible news: Balu Perumal, Head of Conservation at @MNSMalaysia, has passed away due to COVID.

Here is one of his many contributions to Macaranga: a clip recorded on 12 May 2020 of his feelings and vision for our forests. His passion strengthens us.

We've heard that #wildlife #conservation is a lot more about working with the people than with the animals. When the floods hit #Kemaman in Jan, @TCSMsia president Pelf (@pelf81) turned to locals who've helped save #terrapins for a decade.

A black day for journalism today. @malaysiakini goes all black. They’ve also started a legal aid fund to which folks can contribute to pay the hefty RM500K fine. https://t.co/lgJt4uoE0a

Interesting insights on the forestry issue in Peninsular Malaysia!

[BFM89.9 @BFMradio]

Who calls the shots on forest use, in Peninsular Malaysia?

In this #BPPodcast, @julietbfm explores the policies that govern forestry issues in West Malaysia, and what motivates decision-makers, with @ninoamigo & @macarangatweets's @yaohualaw. #ForestFiles

@yaohualaw @FacebookWatch 哎哟，不错！👍

If you are interested in journalism but clueless about how and where to start, read this guide!

[Law, Yao Hua @yaohualaw]

I wrote this guide to help aspiring #freelance #science #journalists, especially those in #SoutheastAsia, to know what to expect and how to find their way. Very thick-skinned of me to write this yes, but I'm sure it helps somebody.

Conservation NGOs are going to have to weather another tough year. Despite just coming out of floods, @TCSMsia has put together a #COVID19 plan adorned in their FB post announcement with a trending inauguration Bernie feature pic.

[Macaranga @macarangatweets]

Stuck at home during the #pandemic, @WinSim24 misses his #nature walks and #birding . He reflects on his - and our - growing disconnection from nature, and calls for action to prevent the next crisis.
What about you? Do you share Win Sim's sentiments?

Oh yeah, it’s about time!

[Climate Reality @ClimateReality]

President Biden has sent the United Nations a letter informing it of the United States' intent to re-enter the #ParisAgreement!

This is a huge first step, and we're grateful for the Biden Administration's commitment to climate on Day One. The real work begins now. #ActOnClimate

[siewlynwrites @slwong_writes]

Nope, #Covid19 ain’t reversing climate change

[Pelf Nyok @pelf81]

@lauchaiming Please help us spread this donation drive around?

We launched this yesterday afternoon to help the ladies in the kampung, not knowing that in less than 12 hours, we'd become victims ourselves.

Thank you!

Ini perkara yg mungkin RAMAI TAK TAHU bila berlaku banjir.

Ini berdasarkan pengalaman 3x duduk pusat pemindahan banjir.

1. Makanan BUKAN satu masalah besar. Malah ia berlimpah ruah sampai beberapa bulan tak habis. Semua bagi bantuan makanan.

*Sambil kongsi gambar banjir lepas.

[Pelabur Bijak 🇲🇾 🇵🇸 @Pelabur_Bijak]

Tempat tak pernah banjir tiba-tiba banjir? Ini antara punca.

Hutan & Bukit bakau ditarah maka tiada lagi tempat tadahan hujan.

[Tan Win Sim @WinSim24]

Indeed.
