NSTleader How Covid-19 is teaching us to see the trees.
Human health, animal health and forest health are interconnected. Make one ill, the other two will be infected.
Malaysia is not out of the woods either. According to the United Kingdom-based think tank Chatham House, Malaysia has been losing a few hundred thousand hectares of forest cover every year between 2001 and 2018, with the lowest being recorded in 2003 at 184,144 hectares .

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Ebola are but examples of recent past.
