The tree is our best weapon against climate change

Know What You Are Fighting For

Malaysia has seen a drop in 10-15% of farm yields due to unpredictable weather.

In 2018, 38,000 Malaysians were displaced from their homes due to climate-related disasters.

In 2018, Malaysia lost about 35,790 Stadium Merdekas worth of forests (forest loss: 144,571 ha, Stadium Merdeka: 4 ha).

21.8 KG. That is how much carbon dioxide a single tree absorbs in a year.

46% of trees have been felled since humans started cutting down forests.

Increasing the Earth’s forest area by the size of the United States would erase nearly 100 years of carbon emissions.

Home to 3,852 faunal species, Malaysia is a megadiverse country thanks to its rainforests — but for how much longer?

If deforestation ended today, tropical rainforests could reduce annual carbon emissions by 24-30%.

Keep on educating yourself and finding ways to get involved.
We have some suggestions.

Planting trees to absorb carbon dioxide is a good first step. But there is more you can do to fight climate change.

We put aside our differences
And ask the world to join us.

Together,
We will protect our forests,
We will aid the endangered,
We will plant trees and grow hope.

There is no nation without nature.
There is no country without planet.

Like our forefathers before us,
We once again fight for what is right.
Together, we fight for our planet.

Perbezaan, kita ketepikan
Kita seru semua untuk sertai perubahan.

Marilah bersama,
Kita lindungi hutan,
Kita bantu hidupan liar dari segala ancaman,
Kita tanam pokok dan tumbuhkan harapan.

Tiada bangsa tanpa alam dunia.
Tiada negara tanpa bumi kita.

Seperti perjuangan nenek moyang kita sebelum ini,
Marilah bersama kita berjuang sekali lagi,
Pertahankan dan lindungi bumi ini.
