Episode notes

In this second episode, I speak with Dr Will Jamieson, Jean-Yves Mertenat, Dr Chris Hackney and WWF’s Marc Goichot. They share their research on sand extraction, urbanisation and natural resilience across the vast region of Southeast Asia, discussing the growth of Singapore, extraction in the Mekong Delta, river system thresholds, urban sustainability and the use of technology to better understand these complex dynamics.
