Unlocking Rare Earth Riches in Malaysia
Malaysia is developing guidelines for a rare earth mining method said to be safer for the environment. Can Malaysia produce rare earths for the world’s green technology, and keep itself clean too?
As Disasters Rise, Climate Change Act Clearly Needed
While its towns bear the consequences of extreme weather, experts and politicians push for a long-awaited climate bill to be signed into law.
Securing Water in a Harsher Climate
El Niño sparks concerns of dry taps in Malaysia. And as global temperatures increase, so will droughts and heatwaves. In response, government agencies are coordinating water assets and integrating water management for better water security.
Explainer: El Niño and Southeast Asia
A short explainer on how El Niño develops and its past impact on Southeast Asia.
What’s in store, El Niño?
El Niño reliably warms up Malaysia but its impact on rainfall is more nuanced and spotty. Still, as global warming drives more extreme weather events, experts foresee El Niño causing more droughts too.
Pouring Concrete on Tioman Island
The proposed airport in Tioman will destroy a fringing reef and island hill forest, as well as put a landing strip in front of two villages.
Urgent Search for Malaysia’s Super Corals
Beneath the paradisical island veneer of Pulau Lang Tengah, Terengganu, is an amazing scientific race against warming seas to save Malaysian corals from extinction.
Nature’s Forts Key to Weathering Storms
Together, coral reefs, mangroves and seagrasses are formidable barriers against climate change-fuelled storm surges and rising sea levels. Part of our #SeaWorld series.
Regrowing Sabah’s precious rainforests
A Sabahan conservationist is studying the carbon sequestration from her project’s tree planting efforts in the severely logged Lower Kinabatangan River, in order to better understand and implement reforestation more effectively.
What Way If Not the PJD Highway?
While locals seem to strongly protest against the PJD highway running through their communities, our survey suggests they are keen on driving. This is Part 2 of 2.
