We humans have the tendency to damage the natural environment in many ways. Deforestation and conversion of forests for residential, industrial development, and expansion of agricultural crops, as well as the burning of fossil fuels, are some activities that disrupt natural ecosystems and wildlife and contribute to climate change. As a result, the life cycles of pathogens and intermediate hosts (insects, rodents, mammals) as well as biodiversity are affected.Through these activities, humans meet wild animals that transmit pathogens, resulting in their infection by zoonoses and causing epidemics-pandemics, the effects of which have as their final recipient himself and his activities.
