Exhibition: The Impact of Covidd-19 on Nature

THE IMPACT OF

COVID-19

YALA SCIENCE CENTRE FOR EDUCATION

The Covid-19 outbreak It has spread
rapidly around the world, killing hundreds of
thousands of people and there are millions
more infected.

Even during the heavy monsoon
season for humans, but there has been a
lot of research from

"scientists for the conservation of nature"

many countries point out
that the outbreaks of the
disease are linked to

In the past, it was an expensive lesson for
humans learned and realize the impact that
caused by human behavior.

Ecosystems in nature work similar to the
human body. When strong and healthy the chances
of being a breeding ground are almost nonexistent.
In this sense, being healthy means having space for
a variety of plant and animal species to live in
balance.

But when humans encroach on the
forest have the hunting and sale of wild
animals. These behaviors, it provides an
opportunity for human infection from
animals causing humans to increase their
exposure to wildlife and may be infected
from them.

Threatened wildlife from human
exploitation

Until the loss of habitat is tends to be
a breeding ground for disease

Because of the encroachment of forest
areas, whether cutting wood, farming, mining
it equals to destruct and reduce wildlife
habitat those animals also needed to find a
new habitat they may move to a limited or
different area this makes them more stress or
sickness.

Moreover, there was a trend that those animals
are exposed to humans or pets in the house May
cause the spread of diseases from animals to humans,
therefore this new research indicates that outbreaks
of animal-borne diseases may occur more frequently
due to the increased destruction of nature.

How does COVID-19
affect nature?

Many people may misunderstand that during the Covid-19
outbreak nature is "Refresh itself" from being attacked by
humans. On the other hand, many rural areas face problems
arising from land use, more poaching of wild animals,
unemployed, Many people moves from the city to return to
his home in the rural. This will increase the use of natural
resources and increase the risk of spreading COVID-19 to
rural areas.

Covid-19

The affects change

From a public health
perspective the climate change
crisis could increase the spread of
some diseases that is complicated
and difficult to cope with. Season
and weather are two important
factors controlling the spread of
the virus. That humans can be
infected, such as influenza.

How's the climate?

Although at this time,
scientists are still unable to
know. How will an unusual
climate affect the spread of
COVID-19? But from research,
it can be predicted that Rising
global temperatures may
affect the duration of spread
and the severity of future
epidemics.

The lesson that we need to solve
from today

Whether it's human health or even the state of the
economy.These two things are inseparably linked with the

way of life of our world.

Therefore, taking care of nature
So it's like taking care of yourself as well

1. Nature Conservation

By balancing the relationship between
humans and nature, ecosystems are

designed to preserve and protect
creatures in nature to have a balance
between each species of creatures and
various diseases. If no human interference
That is to allow animals to live in natural
resources. and prevent thedestruction of
their habitat.

2. Slowing Deforestation.

Land use change is the number 1
cause of unprecedented new diseases
and is associated with the spread of
the virus from animals to humans The
misunderstanding is that cutting
down trees is not eliminating viruses
in nature. On the other hand, it is
stimulating the spread of the disease
as well. Therefore, striving to
maintain a healthy ecosystem helps
to prevent the virus that lives in
nature from spreading and reduce the
chance of spreading too.

3. Stop the illegal wildlife trade

Illegal wildlife trafficking can be
highly rewarding as an incentive. But this
has caused many animals to be
transported to densely populated areas.
This increases the risk of disease
transmission to humans.
