Veterinary Perspectives on Conservation Medicine and Zoological Health

Le résumé fourni par la source

Conservation medicine represents an emerging interdisciplinary approach that integrates veterinary science, ecology, and human medicine to address the interconnectedness of human, animal, and ecosystem health under the One Health framework. This study explores the pivotal role of veterinarians in linking ecosystem stability, biodiversity preservation, and zoonotic disease control. Veterinarians contribute significantly to wildlife conservation through health surveillance, disease monitoring, and the management of both infectious and non-infectious diseases affecting wild and captive animal populations. Their involvement extends to mitigating the impacts of habitat fragmentation, pollution, and climate change, while advancing animal welfare and sustainable ecosystem practices. The paper also highlights the challenges faced by veterinary professionals, including limited resources, ethical dilemmas, and gaps in interdisciplinary collaboration. Furthermore, it emphasizes the growing potential of molecular diagnostics, artificial intelligence, stem cell technologies, and reproductive biotechnologies in improving conservation outcomes. By adopting a holistic perspective that unites veterinary medicine with conservation biology and environmental science, veterinarians play a critical role in safeguarding biodiversity, promoting public health, and ensuring ecological resilience for future generations.
