Malaysia set to lose 2.3m hectares due to deforestation.
Malaysia faces a threat of losing 2.3 million hectares of forests, reducing canopy from 55.3% to 47.4%, according to RimbaWatch's study using Global Forest Watch data. Deforestation, primarily for timber plantations, targets Sabah, Sarawak, Kelantan, and Pahang. Timber plantations, surpassing oil palm, are identified as the leading cause of environmental degradation. Failure to maintain 50% land under forest cover, in line with international commitments, poses ecological risks, compromising carbon sinks and ecosystem services. Urgent actions proposed include expanding reforestation, creating protected areas, and curbing illegal activities to address rapid deforestation, biodiversity loss, and the need for a shift to sustainable practices.https://thesun.my/local_news/malaysia-set-to-lose-23m-hectares-due-to-deforestation-CL11928390

That's a concerning amount of land being lost to deforestation. It's important for Malaysia to address this issue and work towards sustainable forestry practices.

@rotich_kim forests need to be protected as a national heritage or monument as they are the source of life and are a rich hub of biodiversity
