"Biodiversity loss is a public health problem – let's treat it as such"...this is the topic of a popular science article I just wrote for a Danish Media Outlet.

Check it here: naturmonitor.dk/nyheder/deba...
Professor: Tab af biodiversitet er et folkesundhedsproblem – lad os behandle det som sådan
Landene har forpligtet sig under FN’s konvention om biologisk mangfoldighed til at anerkende sammenhængen mellem biodiversitet og menneskers sundhed.
