Using a framework designed to analyze complex relationships between society and the environment, the study concludes that maintaining complete and fully functioning ecosystems and their associated environmental and health benefits is key to preventing the appearing of new pandemics. The loss of these benefits through ecosystem degradation(恶化)—including destroying forests, changing land use and intensive farming—worsens the problem by polluting water and other resources vital for reducing disease spread. Lead author Dr Mark Everard, of the University of the West of England, said, “Disease risks cannot be separated from ecosystem conservation and natural resource security. Ecosystems naturally restrain the transfer of diseases from animals to humans, but this service declines as ecosystems become unbalanced. At the same time, ecosystem degradation harms water security, limiting availability of adequate water for good personal hygiene(卫生) and disease treatment. ” Dr David Santillo, of the Greenpeace Research Laboratories at Exeter, added, “The extent to which rapid actions have been taken in so many countries to limit the health and financial r
