Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Global environmental issues such as biodiversity destruction, natural resource depletion, global warming, and environmental pollution are increasing every day and have become a challenge in the implementation of sustainable development (Auwalu, 2015). These environmental problems have gained the attention of the whole world (Asmawati, Nor Ba’yah, & Fatimah, 2011). Rampant exploration of forest lands has threatened the sustainability of resources. Therefore, the problem of resource shortages must be seriously taken as it will otherwise undermine natural resources for future generations. Awareness with regard to the importance of the environment should be emphasised because it constitutes a fundamental component in the efforts at achieving sustainable development goals
