Humans and the Environment [From the Editor’s Desk]

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of things, one of which is human behavior. For me, I found a new hobby of hiking during the first year of the pandemic. I hiked in dozens of state parks around me during the fall and winter seasons, some of which I did not even know existed before the pandemic. I felt relieved both physically and mentally after the weekend hiking trips, and it was helpful for me to reduce the Zoom fatigue built up during work days.
