Wildlife Research For A Healthier Future

Life's future on Earth (as we currently know it) deeply depends on an urgent change in our anthropocentric view of natural resources and global health. Beyond wildlife's intrinsic value and our moral duty to preserve it, wildlife research and protection represents a crucial tool to accomplish One Health (human, animal and environmental interconnected health). Mainly focusing on infectious diseases and environmental pollution, this book offers a complete and transdisciplinary approach to the importance of wildlife research to achieve a healthy and sustainable future, for animals and humans. Though being a scientific and pedagogical textbook, it was created with the goal of being possible to read by anyone (from any area). It was designed to provide a theorical introduction to some crucial concepts and to illustrate their importance and practical use on the field of wildlife research and nature conservation. Besides providing a unique and updated approach to the subject, this book aims to stimulate critical reflection of its readers in the area of ecology, One Health and biodiversity conservation, making them people with an informed and structured opinion about these topics. Finally, in a very few words, we hope our readers recognize the importance of wildlife studies under the One Health concept.
