To reflect on the bleak prospect and the urgency of taking concerted action to realize a green future for Southeast Asia, SEA Junction in collaboration with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Thailand held a panel on 16 August 2019 at 6.30 PM at its venue. The speakers identified key emerging environmental and conservation problems and look at what actions need to be taken and how. After discussion the regional situation, attention was for the specific cases of Indonesia and Thailand to better understand similarities and differences in issues and policy approaches.
