Conservation of biodiversity as a strategy for improving human health and well-being.
The Earth's ecosystems have been altered by anthropogenic processes, including land use, harvesting populations, species introductions and climate change. These anthropogenic processes greatly alter plant and animal communities, thereby changing transmission of the zoonotic pathogens they carry. Biodiversity conservation may be a potential win-win strategy for maintaining ecosystem health and p...
متن کاملEffects of conservation management of landscapes and vertebrate communities on Lyme borreliosis risk in the United Kingdom
Landscape change and altered host abundance are major drivers of zoonotic pathogen emergence. Conservation and biodiversity management of landscapes and vertebrate communities can have secondary effects on vector-borne pathogen transmission that are important to assess. Here we review the potential implications of these activities on the risk of Lyme borreliosis in the United Kingdom. Conservat...
متن کاملEcosystem change and human health: implementation economics and policy
Several recent initiatives such as Planetary Health, EcoHealth and One Health claim that human health depends on flourishing natural ecosystems. However, little has been said about the operational and implementation challenges of health-oriented conservation actions on the ground. We contend that ecological-epidemiological research must be complemented by a form of implementation science that e...
متن کاملImplications of Current Ecological Thinking for Biodiversity Conservation: a Review of the Salient Issues
Given escalating concern worldwide about the loss of biodiversity, and given biodiversity’s centrality to quality of life, it is imperative that current ecological knowledge fully informs societal decision making. Over the past two decades, ecological science has undergone many significant shifts in emphasis and perspective, which have important implications for how we manage ecosystems and spe...
متن کاملDoes deforestation promote or inhibit malaria transmission in the Amazon? A systematic literature review and critical appraisal of current evidence
