The role that nature conservation can play to mitigate the spread of future infectious diseases

The emergence of infectious diseases is reviewed highlighting the potential role played by main environmental anthropogenic disturbances as, deforestation, land-use change, human-induced climate biodiversity loss and illegal wildlife trade. Ultimately, it plausible that human impact on biosphere could be root cause these emerging diseases, economic globalization, population growth landscape anthropization might increase likelihood novel zoonoses. This pattern bears similarities to phenomena occurred during Neolithic period with agriculture cattle domestication. Still today such accelerated vastly increased traffic people goods. Finally, we argue in favour strong policies actions aiming mitigate natural ecosystems as a key strategy prevent future
