WE have only 10 years left! The intergovernmental panel on climate change predicts this is the amount of time we have left to implement change before a global temperature rise of 1.5°C becomes irreversible. If we want to have a cooler future, sacrificing more forests for urban development is no longer a viable option.
Malaysia recently announced a campaign to plant 100 million trees by 2025 this is expected to contribute to the absorption of 30 million tonnes of carbon a year by plants in urban areas. While tree-planting activities are beneficial to the environment and should be encouraged, scientists have found that protecting our natural forest and keeping its ecosystem intact rather than planting trees is arguably a more critical solution to meaningfully combat climate change.
