World Protected Areas Management, Wildlife Migration and COVID-19
Outbreak: Developing a World Health Care Approach
Abstract
Emerging or re-emerging zoonotic diseases are the main issue in global
health and affect the well-being of nations. COVVID-19 originated from a
wet market where wild animals are sold and rapidly outbreak across
worldwide. Analysis outlined bats are key host, so COVID-19 is a
zoonotic disease and crossed from animals into humans. Wildlife
migration among world protected areas and disease transmission has
caused an increased risk of emerging or re-emerging of zoonotic diseases
such as COVID-19. Transboundary animal diseases (TDAs) make the health
approach more crucial as these diseases cause many problems. Hence, the
prevention and control of zoonotic diseases are critical. In this paper,
we addressed world protect areas management, wildlife migration, and
preventive and control measures aspects on zoonotic diseases such as
COVID-19 that have already been globally recommended. South American and
African countries due to higher coverage of protected areas in human
development regions; and Asian and South American countries due to lack
of protected area management assessment are more prone to transmit
COVID-19 by wildlife migrations. World Health Organization should pay
attention to the determined countries for more practical health care
plans in protected area communities and settlement especially in facing
with wildlife species.
