CNA938 Rewind - Youth Going Green — Solutions for conservation and environmental protection
In ‘Made in SG’, Melanie Oliveiro speaks with two Singapore youth honoured at the National Geographic's global conservation challenge awards. Called the 2025 Slingshot Challenge, it celebrates youth-led solutions for conservation and environmental protection. Award recipients Raina Lakhamraju (Roots for Change) and Nainika Gupta (Orange for Green) will talk about what made their projects winning ones. Roots for Change harnesses carbon credit financing to protect the endangered mangrove forests of the Indian Sundarbans, while Orange for Green partners hawker centres in upcycling fruit waste into eco-friendly surface disinfectants and fertilisers.
