As a Malaysian, this article reminds me of seeing land clearing wherever I go in Malaysia. Malaysia is one of the wonderful country which has a lot of natural resources. However, the weak enforcement of the government resulting such incident being uncontrolled, and there wasn't a good solution to control this from happening.
Nowadays, our climate is changing rapidly and unexpectedly which is threatening the people, animals and vegetation. Cutting down forests is polluting the atmosphere and warming our global, there are no vegetation able to absorb the emission gases, resulting extreme weather with higher temperature to our planet.
Malaysia government should implement regulation and long-term financial incentives in order to protect native land and vegetation. As a future designer, I believe that we able to make a difference and take the responsible of stopping land clearing. We can rebuilt a new building from an abandon land or renovate from old building, instead of clearing new land for constructing a new building.
With the principle of give and take, we must give it back to the nature if we used the land. By planting more tree or designing a green building able to create positive impact to the environment. Federal and state government should plan some long-tern policy and consistency which can counterbalance between development and vegetation.
