By Bhavana KunkalikarMay 2 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in The Medical Journal of Australia, researchers reviewed the significance of preserving Australia's biodiversity for the well-being of human health.
The environmental warnings are not being fully considered regarding their impact on human health by policymakers and the general public. The SOE report examines the relationship between the environment and human health, acknowledging that the condition of the environment has a significant impact on the health and wellness of Australians.
Australians are being impacted by increasing food prices due to these issues, which have real-world implications. According to the SOE report, drug discovery derived from wild species will remain crucial for healthcare, disease prevention, and wellness. Biodiversity loss is causing a decline in natural pharmacies. Less than 10% of the biodiversity of reefs, such as Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is currently experiencing rapid degradation.
Inland waters are in a poor and worsening state due to drought, invasive species, resource mismanagement, bushfires, and pollution. Water scarcity is expected to increase, affecting urban water supplies, agriculture, and ecosystems in Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. According to a 25-year study, the risk of Hendra virus spillover in Australia has increased due to changes in bat behavior caused by habitat destruction and climate change. Ross River virus, Lyssavirus, and Japanese encephalitis virus are among the spillover events in Australia.
