GAMUDA PARKS TO PLANT #OneMillionTrees


Benefits of trees for residents include cooling of ambient temperatures and well-being enhancement, as seen here in Celadon City, Vietnam.

NATURE is an interdependent ecosystem that sustains our growth and survival on this planet. Unfortunately, this fragile balance is in danger of tipping into disaster, as a lack of emphasis on sustainability drives environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss.

Global warming in particular is hitting closer to home, with a recent study by urban rejuvenation firm Think City finding increases in peak land surface temperatures of more than 5°C since 1988 across Ipoh, Johor Baru, and George Town. This effect is attributed to climate change and the urban heat island effect, as well as lack of greenery.
