The relationship between ecology and public health is intertwined, as healthy ecosystems contribute to community well-being. Biodiversity supports ecosystem services such as clean air, water, and food production, all vital for human health. Conversely, disturbed ecosystems can lead to increased vulnerability to diseases and diminish access to natural resources. Recognizing this connection is crucial for developing public health strategies that prioritize environmental conservation. Integrating ecological principles into public health policies can promote preventative measures and foster a holistic understanding of health that encompasses both people and the natural world.
