This document provides broad guidance on surveillance of infectious and non-infectious wildlife diseases, pathogens and toxic agents to assist in the implementation of a national surveillance programme for free-ranging wildlife.
Les vastes effets de la pandémie de COVID-19 ont inclus d’immenses pertes de vies et de graves conséquences sanitaires et économiques pour les communautés et les écosystèmes. Le tourisme, qui a lui-même subi de fortes perturbations durant la pandémie, fait partie des industries ayant un fort intérêt à réduire les risques et à accroître la résilience vers un modèle plus durable, conforme à une approche « Une seule santé ».
Les aires protégées et conservées (APC) sont concernées de diverses façons par les risques et impacts des maladies, comme en témoignent de récentes épidémies et la pandémie mondiale de COVID-19. Leur rôle potentiel dans la prévention, la détection, la réponse et le rétablissement face aux maladies est important, à la fois pour réduire les risques de propagation et pour se préparer efficacement aux crises sanitaires.
Los amplios efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 han significado una inmensa pérdida de vidas y graves consecuencias sanitarias y económicas en comunidades y ecosistemas. El turismo, que a su vez sufrió una fuerte ruptura en la pandemia, se encuentra entre las industrias que tienen un gran interés en reducir los riesgos y aumentar la resiliencia hacia un modelo más sostenible en consonancia con el enfoque Una Sola Salud.
Las áreas protegidas y conservadas (APC) se ven afectadas por riesgos e impactos de enfermedades de formas muy diversas, como demuestran las recientes epidemias y la pandemia mundial de COVID-19. Su papel potencial en la prevención, detección, respuesta y recuperación de enfermedades es significativo, tanto para reducir los riesgos de propagación como para prepararse eficazmente ante los brotes de enfermedades.
The wide-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have included immense loss of life and serious health and economic consequences across communities and ecosystems. Tourism, which itself suffered a sharp disruption in the pandemic, is among the industries that have a strong interest to reduce risks and increase resilience toward a more sustainable model in line with a One Health approach.
Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are affected by disease risks and impacts in wide-ranging ways, as demonstrated by recent epidemics and the global COVID-19 pandemic. Their potential role in disease prevention, detection, response, and recovery is significant, both to reduce spillover risks and to effectively prepare for disease events. This report provides an orientation for PCA managers on relevant sources of risk, with actions that can be taken to build up systems to manage disease threats across the variety of PCA contexts.
This situation analysis presents a thorough, evidence-based examination of the relationship between wildlife and zoonosis, wildlife and emerging human pathogens and associated diseases, their origins, drivers, and risk factors. There is considerable divergence of opinion around the subject both within and outside the biodiversity conservation community and given the ontological challenges and highly different perspectives, contradictory narrative is unsurprising.
This open access book identifies and discusses biodiversity’s contribution to physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing. Furthermore, the book identifies the implications of this relationship for nature conservation, public health, landscape architecture and urban planning – and considers the opportunities of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation. This transdisciplinary book will attract a wide audience interested in biodiversity, ecology, resource management, public health, psychology, urban planning, and landscape architecture.
