The ocean is home to vibrant underwater life. Unfortunately, issues like overfishing and pollution are putting some existing habitats at risk.

That’s where marine conservation plays an important role. It’s more than just protecting the ocean and restoring ecosystems, it also encourages people to take action.

Many islands today have established Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to prevent destructive activities such as overfishing, gradually allowing marine life to recover and regenerate.

MPAs, including marine parks and turtle sanctuaries, are designed for long-term conservation of underwater resources and ecosystem services.

Reef Check Malaysia, for example, has recently launched an interactive virtual map showcasing coral reef data from over 300 sites across the country.

The platform allows anyone – from researchers and students to holidaymakers and even environmental organisations – to learn about Malaysia’s reef conditions.

Besides that, it helps raise awareness about how our actions can impact these fragile ecosystems, especially when visiting islands or doing marine activities.

Ali Akbar knows everyone and everyone knows him. The last newspaper hawker in Paris zigzags each day from cafe to cafe, shouting humorous headlines in the heart of the French capital.

“France is getting better!” he cries, just one of the headlines he invents to sell his wares round the upmarket streets of Saint-German-des-Pres.

“(Eric) Zemmour has converted to Islam!” he shouts, referring to the far-right candidate at the 2022 presidential elections.

Locals and tourists on the Left Bank, the intellectual and cultural heart of Paris, look on amused.

“Even the walls could talk about Ali,” smiled Amina Qissi, a waitress at a restaurant opposite the Marche Saint-Germain, who has known Akbar for more than 20 years.

Now 73, Akbar, a slim, fine-featured “character” with newspapers tucked under his arm, is a neighbourhood legend, she added.

There’s a lot of speculation about what artificial intelligence (AI) is doing to our world. More and more we’re not afraid of AI going the Terminator route and pumping out cyborgs to hunt us down. More and more we’re worried that AI will destroy our world by taking all the jobs.

And that definitely is a concern for me. 

Dario Amodei, the CEO of AI startup Anthropic, has said 50% of all entry level jobs will be gone in five years. He’s not the only one. Tom Gardner, the CEO of financial and investing advice company Motley Fool, has said we are at a point where AI is going to make a lot of people obsolete (OK, that’s kind of extreme).

Now, I can’t speak to other industries but in my own, which is film and TV, I can comment since I’ve been keeping an eye on this issue.

There are lots of interviews with directors and actors stating that AI will never be more creative than people. That we want to see real actors and stories written by real people. These interviews are inspiring to listen to but they don’t ring true to me.

Singing songs by Elvis Presley and The Beatles could help patients with lung disease, a small new study suggests.

Researchers found that group singing therapy online can help improve the quality of life among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Experts from Monash University in Australia and the University of Cambridge in Britain examined data on 101 patients in Australia.

Half were enrolled in an online singing programme that took place over 12 weeks.

The 90-minute sessions saw people guided through group singing of songs including Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love, Let It Be by The Beatles and World War I song Pack Up Your Troubles.

The other half were given usual care.

All of the people in the study took part in surveys designed to assess a person’s quality of life.

The score was 7.4 points higher among the singing group, and even higher among the group who attended eight sessions or more.

A child undergoing treatment for a chronic illness is affected not only physically, but also emotionally.

Their psychological well-being plays a vital role in how they cope with their condition, yet, this aspect is often overlooked.

For many children facing serious, incurable or life-threatening illnesses, emotional distress can weigh as heavily as physical pain.

That is why paediatric palliative care specialists at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) are emphasising the role of psychotherapy in this area of medicine.

UMMC consultant paediatric palliative care physician Dr Chong Lee Ai explains that their duty goes far beyond managing physical symptoms.

“Our role is to care for their physical, psychosocial, mental health and spiritual needs – a holistic approach that focuses on quality of life,” she says.

Marieme Ndiaye emerged from her igloo-shaped home in Senegal’s capital, its 1950s space-age aesthetic in sharp contrast with the boxy, multi-storey apartments being built nearby.

The little concrete house is a head-turner, seemingly better suited for a sci-fi movie than the average Dakar residential block where it is located.

In the 1950s, around 1,200 of the tiny little homes were built in several neighbourhoods across Dakar to alleviate a post-World War II housing crunch.

The dwellings were made by inflating a giant balloon and spraying it with a concrete solution called gunite, before then deflating the balloon.

Row after row of the light-coloured domes, which could be constructed in just 48 hours, quickly sprung from the brown Sahelian landscape.

In an effort to boost nature tourism in Malaysia, Selangor and Perak are joining hands to further raise the standards of geoparks in both states.

Through Tourism Malaysia, the Selangor government recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Perak’s Lenggong Geopark.

“This collaboration is not just about sharing expertise but it is also about driving sustainable development that benefits the people,” state local government and tourism committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim said in a press statement.

Maggie Baird says her vegan cinnamon rolls are a family favourite – including to her children, who happen to be the world-famous musicians Billie Eilish and Finneas.

Growing up, Baird stopped eating meat in part because she felt connected to animals. Her commitment grew as she learned about the environmental impact of animal agriculture.

And her mother died of a heart attack at 57 – one of many in her family to die of heart disease.

“I always say I have the trifecta of reasons …” for foregoing meat, said Baird, who in 2020 founded Support + Feed, a non-profit organisation that advocates for a more climate-friendly food system and provides plant-based meals to people in need.

That connection between what’s healthy for people and the planet dominates the latest EAT-Lancet Commission report, an updated version of the 2019 analysis produced by leading food researchers from around the world.

Deepavali, a festival observed by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Newar Buddhists, is a time for reflection, generosity and togetherness – marked by temple visits, charitable acts and shared meals with family and friends.

Choosing what to wear for Deepavali has become as much a part of the celebration as the festivities themselves, with many embracing vibrant colours, intricate fabrics and modern interpretations of classic styles.

With the festival just days away, local brand owners share the key trends shaping traditional Indian wear this year – from enduring favourites to fresh, contemporary expressions.
