It has severely impacted the social, cultural, educational, research and development programmes throughout the globe. Since the inception of various lifeforms on planet earth, forests' plays an important role in the evolutionary history of organisms and fitness persuades the existence of modern-day species in different ecosystems. The visible effect of pandemic leads to the lockdown with positive implications on the earth biosphere as a whole; while on other hand, lockdown seized and reduced the urbanization and developmental projects, especially the research and development progress in the field of forestry and allied sciences. 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.
