It's our fourth round-up of environmental news for 2025, with the good folks from environmental journalism portal Macaranga. Co-founders Wong Siew Lyn and Law Yao Hua join us to look back at news from April 2025, first focussing on the troubling news about beheadings of Bornean pygmy elephants in Sabah, and the possible reasons behind these gruesome killings. Next we dissect the dispute between YP Olio Sdn Bhd and the Temoq Orang Asli community in Pahang, which recently ended with what is being described as a "landmark settlement", though still at great expense for the community and nature. Finally, the first National Climate Change Action Council (NCCAC) meeting of 2025 was held last week, chaired by the Prime Minister - what were some of the outcomes of this high-level meeting? Yao Hua and Siew Lyn get us up to speed.
