Human Health depends on Nature’s Health
How Effective Biodiversity Conservation can Help Prevent Future Pandemics
To prevent and strengthen resilience to possible future diseases and pandemics, a new conceptual framework for policies and practise is needed. Fragmented policies and institutions have led to ignorance regarding how humans share an ecosystem, even on the microbial level, with other living beings. CEEweb for Biodiversity believes that we need a synergistic approach for biodiversity conservation and public health to co-design and implement programmes, policies, legislation and research across sectors and scientific disciplines in a framework that treats humans and nature not as separate realms, but in view of their interdependencies.
