Balancing Conservation, Restoration And Development

Pause

Malaysia’s land surface was once almost entirely covered with forest but today, forests only cover about 54% of the total land area. And as our towns and cities continue to expand and concerns regarding the conservation and restoration of our forests intersect with each other, how do we balance between developing more urban spaces and restoring the forests we’ve lost? For a World Environment Day special, we’ll be exploring these issues with Dzaeman Dzulkifli of the Tropical Rainforest Conservation Research Centre.

This World Environment Day special was brought to you by Volvo Cars; Redefining freedom to move in a personal, sustainable, and safe way.
