How Can We Use Ecosystem Services to Control Diseases?
Leveraging ecosystem services for disease control involves strategies such as conserving natural habitats, promoting biodiversity, and implementing sustainable land use practices. Restoring wetlands can enhance water purification and reduce the risk of waterborne diseases. Integrating vector control with ecosystem management, such as using natural predators to control mosquito populations, can also be effective. Additionally, public health interventions that incorporate ecological principles can lead to more sustainable and effective disease management.
