Species range expansion is a global phenomenon (Holt 2003) driven primarily by factors such as climate change (Walther et al. 2009, Chen et al. 2011) and land use change (e.g. Dawe et al. 2014). Such events have resulted in the rapid emergence of several zoonotic diseases (Crowl et al. 2008, Engering et al. 2013) as pathogen, disease vector, or reservoir host species introduce disease into a previously naïve region (e.g. Legér et al. 2013, Fuller et al. 2012).

Discuss the proposition that religion and conservation are natural partners. The modern conservation movement, with a reliance on a purely scientific paradigm, has proved unsuccessful. The rate of biodiversity loss, unsustainable consumerism, and ecosystem destruction has not slowed down, and only 7% of global land surface has been saved. This is despite the wealth of information provided by western scientists how environmental degradation is harmful for the health of individuals, communities,

Costa Rica has set aside a larger percentage of its land for biodiversity conservation than the United States has because it is more valuable for Costa Rica’s economy. The United States is larger than Costa Rica so it can benefit its economy in more ways such as exploiting the land.
