Before we remove a tree, we should first understand the tree 🌳
🌳This article is a good read for everyone. Especially local authorities, developers, property owners, and the public here in Sarawak. Tree management is not simply about “cutting because it looks dangerous”. Every tree has its own condition, structure, environmental value, and risk factors that need proper assessment before any decision is made.🌱
In Sarawak, we are blessed with mature trees that provide shade, reduce heat, improve biodiversity, and contribute to the beauty of our environment. But without proper arboriculture practices, poor planning and unnecessary removals can slowly reduce these benefits.☹️
🌿🌴A healthy urban forest does not happen overnight. It requires knowledge, awareness, and responsible decision-making from all parties.🌳🌲

‘Chop first, think later’ cannot be urban policy, because irresponsible tree cutting creates even more problems in the long term.
