Evaluación y reducción de riesgos de enfermedades infecciosas en áreas protegidas y conservadas

Las Áreas Protegidas y Conservadas (APC) salvaguardan la biodiversidad y proporcionan servicios ecosistémicos esenciales para la salud humana y animal, desde la filtración del agua hasta la regulación del clima. Sin embargo, las APC también pueden ser lugares donde surgen o se propagan enfermedades infecciosas entre personas, fauna silvestre y animales domésticos.

Évaluer et réduire les risques de maladies infectieuses dans les aires protégées et conservées

Les aires protégées et conservées (APC) préservent la biodiversité tout en fournissant des services écosystémiques fondamentaux pour la santé humaine et animale mais ces mêmes APC peuvent servir de foyers d’émergence ou de propagation de maladies infectieuses.

Assessing and reducing infectious disease risks in protected and conserved areas

Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) safeguard biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services for human and animal health, yet PCAs can also be places where infectious diseases can emerge or spread among people, wildlife, and domestic animals. These dynamics make PCAs both vulnerable to infectious disease threats and critical allies in preventing and mitigating them.

Situation analysis on the roles and risks of wildlife in the emergence of human infectious diseases

2022 Kock, Richard | Caceres-Escobar, Hernan |

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.
