Biodiversity loss increases exposure to new and established pathogens Wildlife biodiversity is good for human health, NSF-funded scientists have found. A growing body of evidence suggests that biodiversity loss increases exposure to both new and established zoonotic pathogens. Restoring and protecting nature is essential to preventing future pandemics. So reports a new Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper that synthesizes current understanding about how biodiversity affects human health and provides recommendations for future research to guide management. The research is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. Lead author Felicia Keesing of Bard College and the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies says, “There’s a persistent myth that wild areas with high levels of biodiversity are hotspots for disease. More animal diversity must equal more dangerous pathogens. But that turns out to be wrong. Biodiversity isn’t a threat to us; i
