This viewpoint addresses key questions and point-out with detailed exploration of the problem - as how COVID-19 pandemic impacts forestry research all over the world? We also suggest possible solutions, and define the role and association of disciplines, such as bioinformatics, remote sensing and statistical modules along with previously explored and collected field data as a sustainable measure to resolve the problems of forestry sector of this mighty challenge., (© The National Academy of Sciences, India 2021.)
