This book demonstrates the importance and potential role of
Traditional Ecological Knowledge in foreseeing and curbing future
global pandemics. The reduction of species diversity has increased
the risk of global pandemics and it is therefore not only
imperative to articulate and disseminate knowledge on the linkages
between human activities and the transmission of viruses to humans,
but also to create policy pathways for operationalizing that
knowledge to help solve future problems. Although this book has
been prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, it lays a policy foundation
for the effective management or possible prevention of similar
pandemics in the future. One effective way of establishing this
linkage with a view to promoting planet health is by understanding
the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous peoples with a
view to demonstrating the significant impact it has on keeping
nature intact. This book argues for the deployment of traditional
ecological knowledge for land use management in the preservation of
biodiversity as a means for effectively managing the transmission
of viruses from animals to humans and ensuring planetary health.
The book is not projecting traditional ecological knowledge as a
panacea to pandemics but rather accentuating its critical role in
the effective mitigation of future pandemics. This book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of traditional ecological
knowledge, indigenous studies, animal ecology, environmental ethics
and environmental studies more broadly.
