Expanding the human–wildlife interaction framework of Galindo‐González 2023.

The article discusses the increasing spread of zoonotic diseases from animals to humans due to human pressures on natural environments and wildlife populations. Factors such as habitat degradation, pollution, climate change, and international animal trade contribute to the loss of ecological function and ecosystem resilience. The presence of wildlife in urban areas poses a significant risk of zoonotic disease transmission, highlighting the need for proactive measures to reduce health risks and conflicts between humans and wildlife in urban settings. The study emphasizes the importance of educating urban residents about wildlife interactions and ecosystem functions to mitigate the spread of zoonoses. [Extracted from the article]
