Polluted air and steadily rising temperatures are linked to health effects ranging from increased heart attacks and strokes to the spread of infectious diseases and psychological trauma.
The study identified the greatest concentrations of threatened amphibian species in several biodiversity hotspots, including the Caribbean islands, the tropical Andes, Madagascar and Sri Lanka. Other locations with large numbers of threatened amphibians include Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, southern Chin...
Moreover, the shock of disability risk has the greatest impact on farmers’ income poverty, followed by the impact of major illness, and long-term chronic diseases rank third. iv The heterogeneity analysis of farmers’ characteristics shows that the impact of health risk has a more significant ...
even without knowing a proven advantage over single drug compounds, social factors such as self-medication, use of antimicrobials without a prescription, inadequate infection and disease prevention and control in healthcare facilities and on farms, poor access to quality, affordable medicines, vaccines ...

The biodegradation process itself had a significant impact on changes in the microbiome of samples taken from anaerobic bioreactors, reducing its biodiversity. As demonstrated by the results of this innovative method, namely the BioFlux microfluidic flow system, the decrease in the number of taxa in...
In support of the conservation actions above, policy responses to the ongoing amphibian extinction crisis, and the biodiversity crisis as a whole, need to be strengthened. Increased political will and sufficient resource commitments for the delivery of agreed global and national biodiversity conservation...
