Ebola

‘One Health’ approach vital to combating pandemics

A future pandemic could be worse than the ongoing crisis because we are pushing nature to its limits by destroying and degrading amazingly diverse ecosystems, like tropical forests, rivers, lakes, mountains, coral reefs and many more and ultimately removing natural buffers and expanding the interface between wildlife and people where pandemics emerge.

Nature strikes back

The outbreak of Covid-19 is an example of Nature's proactive response to the suicidal behaviour of humans. What is needed is called 'behavioural distancing'. We should change our lifestyle and our attitude towards Nature to heal our planet.
