ISWI 2021 - Keynote Lecture: Preventing the next pandemic

Healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity are fundamental to life on our planet. But even small changes in average temperatures can have a significant effect upon ecosystems. Climate change also affects the habitats of several species which then must either adapt or migrate to areas with more favorable conditions. This loss of biodiversity also leads to more zoonotic diseases like COVID-19. Kristina Roesel is a scientist for animal and human health and will give you an overview on how biodiversity is linked to zoonotic diseases.

Speaker: Kristina Roesel, researcher at the International Livestock Research Institute
