Human development is rapidly destroying the natural habitat for recovering wildlife populations such as tigers.
Synopsis: Every first and third Sunday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
The success of India’s conservation efforts conversely means that rising wildlife populations increasingly, have nowhere to go. Wild tigers are being spotted in many small towns and villages - from the mustard fields of Haryana near New Delhi, to the mountains of Bhimtal in Uttarakhand.
In many cases, accidental encounters have resulted in human casualties, and the big cats have had to be tranquilised and relocated to jungles or rescue centres out of harm’s way. Clashes of humans with elephants have also taken a weekly toll in some Indian states.
In this episode, we look at why a rethink is necessary to manage growing wildlife populations. ST's global contributor Nirmal Ghosh speaks with two field conservationists who are working the ground in and around wildlife habitats across India.
They are the director of The Corbett Foundation Kedar Gore and the president of the Wildlife Conservation Trust Anish Andheria. Both experts give their first-hand account of the implications of the growing interface between people and wildlife, and debate new solutions for India.
Highlights (click/tap above):
1:55 Are we reaching the limits of wildlife conservation, as shown in India?
7:33 Lessons learnt from human-wildlife negative interaction
14:33 On the new debate on limited hunting, like in a few places in Africa, to generate revenue and reduce conflict - how feasible is this in India's context?
17:25 Why controlled hunting comes with many risks and why regulation is difficult to achieve in India
21:29 How aware are local communities of the larger threat of climate change and a warming planet?
24:55 On habitat restoration work that started in 2017

Find out why Myanmar is in a state of economic collapse with only one per cent growth in fiscal year 2023/24.
Synopsis: Every fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' global contributor Nirmal Ghosh shines a light on Asian perspectives of global and Asian issues with expert guests.
Military-driven policies and conflict have shrunk Myanmar’s formal economy, but its illicit economy - long a feature of its borderlands in particular - has been thriving.
Myanmar's military regime is not entirely to be blamed for this tradition of transnational crime syndicates as many of the areas concerned have been controlled for decades by ethnic armies, which essentially make a living from the informal or illicit economy.
To unravel the complexities of Myanmar’s crisis, Nirmal Ghosh hosts two guests in this episode.
First is Professor Sean Turnell, former economic advisor to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the former State Councillor, now in jail, who held office from 2016 until the military coup of February 2021.
Second is Dr Michael Vatikiotis, a veteran journalist, author and broadcaster who has been based in Asia for 35 years.
Highlights (click/tap above):
1:33 Why is Myanmar's economy performing poorly?
3:38 Recently, there has been an unprecedented coalescing of ethnic armed organisations into effective alliances, different from historic fragmented resistance to the military in the past
7:00 Recent crackdowns by China’s proxies indicate the level of concern about Myanmar's transnational crime syndicates, as these prey especially on the Chinese
8:47 Can the military regime be completely blamed for this too? Many of the areas controlled by ethnic armies have essentially made a living from the informal or illicit economy
14:40 Tremendously deep, long lasting levels of mistrust between constituent elements; is the younger generation leading the revolution impressive?

How can community spaces co-exist with competing demands while fostering spontaneous and free play?
Synopsis: Every second and fourth Monday of the month, The Straits Times takes a hard look at social issues of the day with guests.
Managing the use of void decks in Singapore is like a cagey board game – one where Sembawang Town Council played the ultimate “no ball games” card, recently barricading Block 638 Woodlands Ring Road's void deck due to noisy school kids, stirring both controversy and reflection.
This was not a solo act; similar void deck blockades have hit Jalan Kayu and Tampines, creating a recurring match between communal play and resident grievances in recent years.
The incident sparked a lively online commentary, with opinions ranging from “Give kids space!" to "Stray balls are public enemy #1."
The barricades may have been taken down, but bigger questions persist: Have we taken for granted the community spaces we share? Do we still value conviviality, or have we become too individualised? Is there still room for spontaneous play and social cohesion, or are Singaporeans becoming more intolerant?
As the city evolves, the challenge remains – how can we rejig our infrastructure requirements to preserve the magic of free-access public spaces? The game is afoot!
In this episode, ST journalist Gabrielle Chan and assistant ST Now editor Sazali Abdul Aziz delve into this discussion with Professor Laavanya Kathiravelu, who specialises in sociology with a focus on urban planning in cities at the National Technological University of Singapore.
Highlights (click/tap above):
2:37 Why has the discussion of this issue evoked such strong emotions among Singaporeans?
7:44 Is too much balance and structure limiting the creativity of Singaporeans?
11:39 The “Not In My Backyard” syndrome
16:07 Are playgrounds still a good tool for social integration?
21:02 Are authorities too heavy-handed in dealing with complaints?
27:22 What other solutions are there to balance the needs of the community when it comes to shared spaces?

Renewable energy is cleaner and more affordable and is poised for rapid growth in South-east Asia once key roadblocks are overcome.
Synopsis: Every first and third Sunday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
Green Pulse is starting off 2024 with an appropriately green theme -- renewable energy. Specifically, the investment opportunity for green power in South-east Asia.
The region is one of the world's economic growth engines and it is hungry for power to drive that growth, fuel its factories and lift millions out of poverty.
And yet it remains deeply dependent on polluting coal, oil and gas. But cleaner wind and solar, and increasingly battery storage, are becoming more competitive and compelling investment choices. So what is the outlook? Are we on the cusp of a green revolution?
ST's climate editor David Fogarty hosts Mr Edward Northam, head of Core Renewables and head of Asia-Pacific for Macquarie Asset Management Green Investments.
Singapore-based Mr Northam is a veteran of the clean energy space and they both discuss an investor's point of view of the opportunities for the region.
Highlights of conversation (click/tap above):
1:23 What are the opportunities for green energy investment in SE Asia?
2:57 Edward Northam on what he sees as the best opportunities in terms of countries and technologies
8:26 What are three key roadblocks to faster investment that need to be overcome?
12:25 Industry veteran Northam on his background and Macquarie’s green investments
19:55 How is Singapore helping SE Asia accelerate the green transition?
22:03 Green investment is good investment: The way of the future?

One of them is the sauna boom. Find out why it is taking off in a country of hot springs.
Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times chats with ST’s correspondents in the Asia-Pacific, the US and Europe, about life as it goes on, amid the screaming headlines and bubbling crises.
Japan is in transition - where younger Japanese are questioning the rules and strictures that traditionally govern their society.
One manifestation of that is the increasing number of schools in both cities and rural parts that allow genderless uniforms, including for boys who want to wear skirts to schools.
Even the country’s exquisite cuisine is undergoing a revolution of sorts, with insects being introduced into the repertoire as Japan grapples with limited arable land.
In this episode, ST’s foreign editor Li Xueying chats with Japan correspondent Walter Sim - who has been based in the country for eight years - about what other social changes and trends he sees will take place in 2024.
Highlights (click/tap above):
2:05 What is behind the trend of genderless uniforms and what kind of reactions do schoolboys get when they wear skirts?
6:35 Japan is in a period of social change, but these are not yet translated into policy change
9:48 Subverting ideas about Japanese food: Cricket yakitori and ramen now on the menu
12:51 Three trends that will take off in 2024
