Macaranga Wrap-up: November 2020

The folks behind everything at Macaranga.org join us for their monthly show, this time to highlight  Budget 2021 and the government's plans for the environment, before discussing the increased crackdown on wildlife poaching in Johor, which will hopefully be replicated across the country. Finally we look at The Ministry of Environment and Water's upcoming "No Plastic Bag" campaign, and suss out it's feasibility.
