Although COVID-19 pandemic pose a serious threat to mankind and staggered the economic activities, but on the other hand it is considered as "Blessing in Disguise" where pollution is reducing and nature seems to be busy in reclaiming its space in the absence of constant flurry of human activities. This positive impact to environment seems to be short, but have great positive impact on biodiversity so government rather than all human beings learn to reduce the pollution in the long run for the sustainable development.
