IS COVID-19 A WARNING SIGN FOR MAN TO COME BACK TO NATURE?

By F.Mohit - forestry_mauritius

The rate of deforestation in the world is more than 10 million hectares annually.  Forests are the first to be sacrificed for economic development and monetary gains.

Forests are the lungs of the world.  They absorb carbon dioxide and release vast amount of oxygen.  Covid-19 attacks human lungs, and infected people gasp for oxygen.  Is this a sign to stop destroying trees and forests?

.  Newton third law of motion: To every action there is a reaction.

It is rightly said that a picture is worth a thousand words.  The aggression on forests and nature is relentless in the world.

Is it to late to stop this massacre?  The world population is increasing and it is predicted to reach 9 Billion in 2050.  This means more forest lands will have to make way for food production, human settlement and urbanization.  Or is it that Nature will hit back and reduce the human population to sustainable level through deadly diseases?
