COVID-19 Reset the Recovery Button of Nature Environment: A Review

Abstract

Corona-virus Disease (COVID-19) is the official name of a respiratory infectious disease caused by a novel corona-virus that started first in Wuhan, China, and outspread globally with fast acceleration. Bearing in mind the potential threat and the contagious nature of the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns have been implemented across the globe to resist the incessant spread of this novel virus.  Transportation services, market affairs, and other socio-economic activities have been abandoned altogether. The natural resources from local to global scales have witnessed apparent positive impacts due to minimal human mobility. Global lockdowns have drastically altered the patterns of energy demand and have caused an economic downturn but at the same time, have provided an upside-cleaner global environment. Overall carbon emissions have dropped, and the COVID-19 lockdown has led to an improvement in air quality and immaculate beaches/hill stations, water bodies in many cities around the globe. Such immense unintended advantages offer opportunities for unprecedented insights into the dynamics of our natural resources that can lead to viable paths for the conservation and perpetuation of the recovered environments. However this article proposed the general objectives; [1] To review the positive impacts of Covid-19 in respect to environmental resources. [2] To pinpoint the scale of environment resilience in compass to pandemic 19. As a result, the study can help tourism stakeholders to well notify the prospective challenges and urgently develop pertinent strategies towards sustainability of natural resources.
