Researchers continue to explore and characterize spill‐over infections of Plasmodium knowlesi in areas with long‐tailed macaque populations and mosquito vectors that can and do feed on humans if macaques are not available (Lee et al, 2022; Stark et al, 2019).…”

In 2022, long‐tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), a once ubiquitous primate species, was elevated to Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. In 2023, recognizing that the long‐tailed macaque is threatened by multiple factors: (1) declining native habitats across Southeast Asia; (2) overutilization for scientific, commercial, and recreational purposes; (3) inadequate regulatory mechanisms; and (4) culling due to human–macaque conflicts, a petition for rulemaking was submitted to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to add the species to the US Endangered Species Act, the nation's most effective law to protect at risk species. The long‐tailed macaque remains unprotected across much of its geographical range despite the documented continual decline of the species and related sub‐species and the recent IUCN reassessment. This commentary presents a review of the factors that have contributed to the dramatic decline of this keystone species and makes a case for raising the level of protection they receive.

“…Furthermore, an interdisciplinary workshop for the Guides and Scouts of Chile with more than 12,000 adolescents was hosted and sponsored by the 2019 Chilean Congress of Medical Students ( 32 ). In 2020, the first course in the world for non-biologist undergraduate students on One Health (law, psychology, journalism, and engineering) was given at the Adolfo Ibáñez University with excellent comments from students ( 33 ).…”

Professionals throughout the world have been working to assess the interdisciplinary interaction and interdependence between health and wellbeing in a constantly changing environment. The One Health concept was developed to encourage sustainable collaborative partnerships and to promote optimal health for people, animals, plants, the environment, and the whole planet. The dissemination of scientific discoveries and policies, by working directly with diverse communities, has been one of the main goals for Global One Health. The One Health concept has also been referred or related to as “One Medicine, One Medicine-One Health, One World-One Health, EcoHealth,” and Planetary Health,” depending on each fundamental view and approach. In Latin America, despite the concept still being discussed among health professionals and educators, several One Health initiatives have been used daily for more than decades. One Health action has been applied especially in rural and underserved urban areas where low socioeconomic status, lack of health professionals, and scarcity of medical resources may require professionals to work together. Local communities from diverse social and economic statuses, including indigenous populations have been working with institutions and social organizations for many years, accomplishing results through grassroots movements. These “bottom-up” socio-community approaches have also been tools for the prevention and control of diseases, such practice has preceded the One Health concepts in Latin American countries. It is strongly believed that collaborative, multidisciplinary, political, and economic initiatives with prosocial focus may become investments toward obtaining significant results in the face of global, economic and health challenges; working for a healthier world with inclusivity, equity, and equality. In this study, it is briefly presented how the One Health approach has been initiated and developed in Latin America, highlighting the events and actions taken in Brazil, Chile, and Colombia.

“…In the context of 'green prescriptions' we have identified several articles that have used references to support their statements that do not match the meaning of 'green prescriptions' in their article. [7][8][9][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] To provide one example, McDonald et al 7 state that nature exposure is beneficial to health based on a reference that deals with 'green prescription' for physical activity. They make specific statements regarding reduced all-cause mortality, long-term effectiveness and costeffectiveness of 'green prescriptions', but the supporting evidence is regarding physical activity (which was not necessarily outdoors), [40][41][42] not nature exposures, as the authors have implied.…”

What are green prescriptions? A scoping review

Introduction. Clear terminology is critical to allow accurate communication between practitioners, policy makers and the public. Aim. We investigated how the term 'green prescription' has been used in the peer-reviewed literature. Methods. We conducted a scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature that used the term 'green prescription(s)' and determined how this term was used. We then investigated how the term has been used over time, in different geographic locations and in different academic disciplines. Results. We included 268 articles that used the term 'green prescription(s)'. We found that the phrase 'green prescription(s)' has been used since 1997 to mean a written prescription for a lifestyle change, most commonly physical activity, provided by a health practitioner. However, more recently (since 2014) the term has also been used to mean exposure to nature. Despite the emergence of this new meaning, 'green prescription' remains, in the health and medical science literature across all continents, most commonly used to describe a prescription for physical activity. Conclusion. The use of the term 'green prescriptions' is inconsistent and has led to misuse of the research evidence regarding written prescriptions for exercise/diet being used to justify nature exposure to improve human health. We recommend that the term 'green prescriptions' continues to be used only as per its original definition, to refer to written prescriptions for physical activity and/or diet. For prescriptions to spend time in nature, we suggest use of the more appropriate term 'nature prescriptions'.
