Michelle Pender presents research findings from Madagascar
The close relationship between humans, animals and the environment, rapid changes to the environment through land use and climate change make it vitally important to understand how ecosystem changes influence biodiversity and human health, and to identify actions that can improve conservation, while also improving human health. We are investigating how human activities alter ecological communities and influence infectious disease risk near Marojejy National Park in northeastern Madagascar.
