Many hotels and resorts around South-East Asia have been experiencing some down time over the past few months, what with the rising numbers of Covid-19 cases in the region.

For some, this gives them an opportunity to work on ramping up their sustainability development programmes and conservation projects. The Anantara group in Thailand, for example, has just launched a global initiative that will benefit wildlife rangers.
