NASIHAT KEPADA KERAJAANADVICE TO GOVERNMENTPerubahan LandskapPerhutanan: Kesanterhadap KesihatanLuar BandarLaporan Kajian ini diterbitkan setahun selepas satutinjauan semula yang dijalankan oleh JawatankuasaPerubahan Landskap Perhutanan yang dipengerusikanProf Dato’ C. P. Ramachandran, FASc. Persoalan utamaLaporan ini merupakan perkaitan antara perubahanlandskap perhutanan dengan kemunculan penyakitpenyakitbaru, terutama sekali penyakit zoonosis dankesannya terhadap kesihatan pendudukluar bandar. Perkaitan rapatantara manusia dengan haiwanboleh mencetuskan penyebaran/penularan penyakit seperti SARS danselesema burung yang mengugatkesihatan tanpa mengira yang kayaatau yang miskin; penduduk luarbandar atau penduduk bandar.Keadaan perubahan landskapperhutanan, kesan terhadap kesihatanluar bandar, dan implikasi terhadappembangunan lestari telah ditinjausemula oleh sekumpulan pakar khusus, us,melalui satu tinjauan mengenai artikelyang diterbitkan. Tinjauan bahan anbercetak ini menumpukan fokus padatiga isu khusus yang berkaitan denganpersoalan utama Laporan berkenaan iaitusoal perubahan landskap perhutanan,perkaitan antara perubahan landskapperhutanan dengan kesihatan luar bandar, dankesannya terhadap pembangunan lestari.Sistem Bersepadu TanamanSawit-Haiwan RuminanSuatu jawatankuasa yang dipengerusikan olehDr C. Devendra, FASc telah dibentuk untuk menyediakansatu Laporan Penasihat kepada Kerajaan demi menanganiisu-isu berkaitan mempertingkat sistem bersepadutanaman sawit-haiwan ruminan.
