Soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para la gente, el planeta y la prosperidad
Summary
The document argues that the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the critical link between ecosystem health and human health, urging a recovery strategy that prioritizes the protection and restoration of nature to mitigate the risk of future zoonotic diseases.
Key insights
- Human activities that destroy, degrade, and fragment natural ecosystems increase the risk of zoonotic disease spillover by creating new habitat edges and increasing contact between humans, livestock, and wildlife.
- The expansion of livestock production and trade, particularly near wildlife habitats, facilitates the transmission of pathogens from wildlife to livestock and subsequently to humans.
- The trade and marketing of wild animals for human consumption pose a severe risk of zoonosis, as stressed animals in close proximity to other species and humans increase viral shedding and transmission.
- The COVID-19 pandemic threatens billions of dollars in conservation investments by disrupting protected area management, increasing illegal poaching, and collapsing nature-based tourism, particularly in Africa.
- Transitioning to a nature-positive economy could create significant economic opportunities, potentially generating up to 10.1 trillion dollars in new business opportunities and 395 million jobs by 2030.
- Current agricultural subsidies are largely inefficient, with only 15% of the over 700 billion dollars spent annually on agricultural subsidies directed toward the creation of public assets.
