It's been almost a year since I last visited Maiu Forest and honestly speaking, I was surprised at how crowded it was today. It felt like the post-covid hiking boom all over again. However, what's sad is that the buzz isn't because people suddenly discovered how beautiful this place is. It's because evervone knows it might not be around much longer. With 15 hectares of trees slated for clearance, this forest has become a 'must-see-before-it's-gone' spot. This kinda breaks my heart. I really hope the government can consider setting aside more of this space for the wildlife that calls Maju Forest home.
