ABSTRACT

There is a major imbalance in the global health interface which encompasses when aiming to improve the eco-systems in which all living things thrive. It is crucial to recognize the importance of reaching environmental stability and biodiversity conservation, on a local and global scale, as the crucial indicators for economic burden, ecological destruction, and existing unsustainable trends. The significance of restoring natural ecosystems and preventing further devastation to the planet’s unique biomes offers the opportunity for increased potential of critical emerging disease occurrence, furthering the vulnerability of the planet’s global health. The objective is to encourage the consideration of the cost and benefits of improving and sustaining crucial ecological factors as an equal contender of a mechanism for disease prevention and control. This narrative review uses an overview of 102 papers, retrieved from a computerized database, AGORA: Research4lLife. It discusses various, prominent determinants of disease and their relationship to current environmental changes; the possible challenges associated with developing ecological stability and sustainable development; and the importance of biodiversity conservation as the proposed mechanism for reaching ecological stability. The proposed solution is prioritizing environmental stability through biodiversity conservation and sustainable development to combat the increased risk of emerging and re-emerging diseases.
