KUCHING: The Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC) will be hosting a webinar titled ‘Cartoons, Sci-Comm, and Conservation’ at 11.30 am next Monday (Sept 9).

The event will welcome 500 participants and aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and wildlife conservation through captivating cartoons and artwork.

“Scientific discussions on ecology and conservation are often filled with jargon, making it difficult for the general public to understand,” SBC said in a press statement.
