How Do Conservation Efforts Impact Vector-Borne Diseases?
Vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, are influenced by changes in the environment. Conservation efforts that focus on water management, reforestation, and the control of urban sprawl can limit the breeding grounds for vectors like mosquitoes. For example, efforts to restore wetlands and maintain natural water flow can reduce the stagnation of water, thus minimizing mosquito breeding sites.
