“…This improvement not only fosters the survival of various species but also mitigates the spread of diseases (Jiménez-Peñuela et al 2021 ). Our findings show that increasing human populations, consumption, global warming, and artificial barriers alter migratory patterns (Faaborg et al 2010a , b ) and increase the possibility of disease transmission (Alberti and Wang 2022 ; de Angeli Dutra et al 2021 ; Kheirallah et al 2021 ; Shestopalov et al 2022 ). Connectivity plays a crucial role in population genetics and dynamics (Liu et al 2022 ; Mudrik et al 2022 ).…”

The increasing impact of human activities on ecosystems is provoking a profound and dangerous effect, particularly in wildlife. Examining the historical migration patterns of quail (Coturnix coturnix) offers a compelling case study to demonstrate the repercussions of human actions on biodiversity. Urbanization trends, where people gravitate toward mega-urban areas, amplify this effect. The proliferation of artificial urban ecosystems extends its influence across every biome, as human reliance on infrastructure and food sources alters ecological dynamics extensively. We examine European quail migrations pre- and post-World War II and in the present day. Our study concentrates on the Italian peninsula, investigating the historical and contemporary recovery of ringed quail populations. To comprehend changes in quail migration, we utilize trajectory analysis, open statistical data, and linear generalized models. We found that while human population and economic growth have shown a linear increase, quail recovery rates exhibit a U-shaped trajectory, and cereal and legume production displays an inverse U-shaped pattern. Generalized linear models have unveiled the significant influence of several key factors—time periods, cereal and legume production, and human demographics—on quail recovery rates. These factors closely correlate with the levels of urbanization observed across these timeframes. These insights underscore the profound impact of expanding human populations and the rise of mega-urbanization on ecosystem dynamics and services. As our planet becomes more urbanized, the pressure on ecosystems intensifies, highlighting the urgent need for concerted efforts directed toward conserving and revitalizing ecosystem integrity. Simultaneously, manage the needs and demands of burgeoning mega-urban areas. Achieving this balance is pivotal to ensuring sustainable coexistence between urban improvement and the preservation of our natural environment.

“…As urbanization has led human communities to be situated more closely to natural areas, wildfires also result in a loss of land and homes (Giles, 2023). Ensuing forced migration can heighten the risk of zoonotic disease transmission between non-human animals and humans (Shestopalov et al, 2022). These individuals may also experience emotional and mental turmoil due to unexpected and traumatic relocation (Giles, 2023).…”

The prevalence and intensity of wildfires have increased dramatically in Ontario, Canada since 2022. This has been exacerbated by climate change, clearcut logging, and poorly extinguished campfires. While previous interventions have targeted the downstream effects of wildfires such as deforestation, there have been no interventions that utilize a One Health approach to equally consider the health of humans, non-human animals, and the environment. This paper proposes a novel and cost-effective initiative utilizing cultivated mycelium from degraded slash piles, harvested and transformed into an organic fire-retardant spray for application on nearby trees. The proposed initiative aims to reduce the risk of wildfire ignition from at-risk trees in Lyndhurst, Ontario to protect the lives of humans and non-human animals as well as the integrity of properties and wildlife habitats, simultaneously contributing to the restoration of forest health as a crucial carbon sink. This may mitigate the effects of climate change and improve air quality, acting as a protective measure for human, non-human animal, and environmental health.

Aim. Formulation of the outlines of the concept of ViEW (Viral Early Warning) which is intended as a long term system of multidisciplinary transboundary cooperation between specialist institutions of all five Caspian region states to research, regularly monitor and share data about the generation, transmission and epidemiology of avian‐borne pathogens and their vectors in the region, and the ways climate change may affect these processes.Material and Methods. The concept is based on the multidisciplinary experience of the authors in researching the processes incorporated in the ViEW concept and on an in‐depth survey of the literature involved.Results. The outlines of the ViEW concept are presented in this study for review and comment by interested parties and stakeholders.Conclusion. Review of activities and opinions of specialists and organizations with remits relating to the development, establishment and maintenance of ViEW, indicates that such a system is a necessity for global animal and human health because of the role that the Caspian region plays in the mass migration of species of waterbird known as vectors for avian influenza and the already evident impacts of climate change on their phenologies. Waterbirds frequenting the Caspian Sea littorals and their habitats together constitute a major potential global hotspot or High Risk region for the generation and transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses and other dangerous zoonotic diseases.
