Controlling Deforestation And Wildlife Trade Could Prevent Pandemics Future pandemics could be prevented if unsustainable practices like deforestation and the industrial scale wildlife trade are halted, according to a global biodiversity report. the cost of. Currently, we invest relatively little toward preventing deforestation and regulating wildlife trade, despite well researched plans that demonstrate a high return on their investment in limiting zoonoses and conferring many other benefits.
Controlling Deforestation And Wildlife Trade Could Prevent Pandemics Stopping deforestation will not only reduce our exposure to new disasters but also tamp down the spread of a long list of other vicious diseases that have come from rain forest habitats—zika,. Governments might be able to prevent future pandemics by investing as little as $22 billion a year in programs to curb wildlife trafficking and stem the destruction of tropical forests, a new analysis by an international team of scientists and economists shows. Boston – two years after covid 19 emerged, researchers have provided three cost effective actions to help decision makers prevent future pandemics by stopping “spillover” of diseases from animals into humans: better surveillance of pathogens, better management of wildlife trade and hunting, and reduced deforestation. Investing $22 31 billion a year to monitor and police the wildlife trade and curb tropical deforestation can help prevent future pandemics. spend $500 million a year to expand and enhance wildlife trade monitoring programs and technologies.

According to a latest analysis, reducing tropical deforestation and controlling the wildlife trade could be cost efficient approaches to prevent pandemics before they start. a virus crosses from animals to humans every two years or so, and increases the re emergence of a pandemic like covid 19. Previous research by dr. bernstein and colleagues found that the costs of preventing the next pandemic—by reducing deforestation and regulating the wildlife trade—are as little as $22 billion a year, 2% of the economic and mortality costs of responding to covid 19. Controlling deforestation (shown here, in a tropical rainforest in the congo basin) could decrease the risk of future pandemics, experts say. researchers are redoubling efforts to understand. Rewilding inspired forestry reimagines forest management by restoring natural processes to enhance biodiversity, resilience, and sustainability. this approach counters the limitations of conventional forestry, such as biodiversity loss, species invasion, and carbon sequestration challenges, by emphasizing natural processes like trophic interactions, species dispersal, and stochastic.
