An Environmental Report Card for Southeast Asia
As school semesters come to a close across Southeast Asia, and teachers begin calculating final scores, another type of assessment is called for: an environmental report card for the region. While evaluating every environmental issue that has arisen in every country is unfeasible, it is possible to conduct a general overview of what has happened so far in 2018. How are forests, oceans, mangroves, and wildlife faring in the region so far in 2018? Some countries receive more coverage than others in this report, and Brunei is not covered due to the limited amount of international environmental coverage on the small Bornean country.
