Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Conserving a forest instead of cutting it down for other uses is becoming increasingly attractive to land developers, as more companies and countries eye such projects as sources of carbon credits to offset their emissions.  But a new study by researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has found that protecting forests in South-east Asia can yield many more benefits, other than just the profits from the sale of carbon credits. Communities around a healthy forest with a wide diversity of wild pollinators, for example, can benefit from higher agricultural yields. In this episode, The Straits Times environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss the co-benefits of such projects with Dr Tasya Vadya Sarira, a postdoctoral researcher at the NUS Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions.  Highlights (click/tap above): 01:38 What are the benefits of forests other than taking in planet-warming carbon dioxide? 02:50 Are these benefits unique to forest conservation projects? 03:46 A recent study mapped out where in South-east Asia, forests with benefits are located. What sparked it? Where are these forests? 06:53 How are co-benefits reflected in the carbon price currently? 08:58 Why is it important to recognise co-benefits?

Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. One of the most important climate change indicators is one that rarely gets headlines -ocean temperatures. Yet, the world’s oceans are heating up, absorbing huge amounts of energy caused by global warming. Last year was the hottest for the world's oceans in recorded human history, according to a study led by an international team of scientists who track the data. It was the sixth consecutive record year. What does this mean for humanity and why should we be concerned? In this episode, The Straits Times environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss the growing alarm over hotter oceans with Dr Kevin Trenberth, from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder Colorado.  Highlights (click/tap above): 1:15 How hot have oceans become? 5:25 How much could global temperatures have risen without the oceans; human activities causing ocean acidification  8:26 Implications of a warmer ocean for marine biodiversity?  9:23 What about sea level rise and storms?  12:58 How long will the ocean retain the heat for?  Read more on the study: https://str.sg/wdjW Produced by: Audrey Tan ([email protected]), David Fogarty ([email protected]), Ernest Luis, Fa'izah Sani and Hadyu Rahim Edited by: Hadyu Rahim Subscribe to Green Pulse Podcast series and rate us on your favourite audio apps: Channel: https://str.sg/JWaf Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWaY Spotify: https://str.sg/JWag Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/J6EV  SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg/ Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: [email protected] Follow Audrey Tan on Twitter: https://str.sg/JLMB Read her stories: https://str.sg/JLM2 Follow David Fogarty on Twitter: https://str.sg/JLM6 Read his stories: https://str.sg/JLMu Read ST's Climate Code Red site: https://str.sg/3pSz --- Discover more ST podcast series: Asian Insider Podcast: https://str.sg/JWa7 Health Check Podcast: https://str.sg/JWaN ST Sports Talk Podcast: https://str.sg/JWRE #PopVultures Podcast: https://str.sg/JWad Bookmark This!

Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. If you’re raising a child with special needs, such as physical, cognitive, behavioural challenges, you are not alone. You deserve the time to look after yourselves and there is comfort to be found from families who have children with special needs. In this episode, Joyce Teo, a senior health correspondent with The Straits Times, speaks with Dr Lim Hong Huay, an epidemiologist and developmental paediatrician who has two children with ADHD and mild autism, about how parents of special needs children can avoid burnout. She also talks about how friends and family can help parents of special needs children and what the public should (and should not) do when they encounter a parent having a challenging episode with a special needs child. Dr Lim founded CaringSG in 2020, when many special education schools and early intervention programmes had to stop their services and families were stuck at home. That worsened the exhaustion, burnout and mental health issues that some caregivers had.
