Summary
Biodiversity loss in hotspots of biodiversity is, among other socio-ecological factors, key to understand, prevent and
react to future pandemics. However, despite this knowledge, the current COVID-19 crisis highlights the limitations of
the implementation of One Health approaches. A main limitation is the lack of context-adapted solutions that
stakeholders could easily implement on the field.
To overcome this, BCOMING will build on past international projects to co-construct innovations with all stakeholders of biodiversity hotspots to reduce the risk of infectious disease emergence through biodiversity conservation and disease surveillance strategies.
