Dear Subscriber,

As we await a Covid-19 vaccine and a resolution to this global pandemic, we’ve learned that this crisis caused by an outbreak, reflects the imbalanced relationship between humans and nature. We cannot wait for any vaccine to cure our environment and protect our future. To heal our world now, we need everyone’s cooperation. 

One thing is clear: the global injustices we've witnessed is not the new normal we want to continue with. As ambitious thinkers and bold achievers, I know for a fact that our regional community is very capable of making the world a better place. Read on to join us in our quest to reshape our post-pandemic world.
 
In service of the borderless community,

Koychakorn Voraakhom

Even as some countries begin easing restrictions, deaths and unemployment continue to rise rapidly. While the virus remains a threat, we as landscape architects now have the opportunity to define a new normal and think about how we can restructure our societies.

In this first installment, we speak to IFLA APR's President, Mr. Fumiaki Takano on overcoming some of the challenges brought about by Covid-19.
