摘要: In many parts of Europe and North America, populations large mammals birds have recovered during recent decades. Sweden, this has resulted in more wildlife than was historically recorded. This positive development provides a number opportunities for ecosystem services biodiversity. More also means interactions with humans, as may interfere human interests the landscape, such natural resource use. Thus, shift baseline societal perception wildlife. Wildlife species host pathogens potential infecting humans domestic animals. With increasing knowledge about zoonotic diseases their dynamics, scientific, media, public attention is given to processes. We are concerned how image wild animals affected, because outbreaks connect animal groups avian swine influenza, lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis. The focus on increase fear will separate further from outdoors general particular. Ultimately, we risk juxtaposition overall acceptance biological diversity shifting that could be harmful life earth. therefore suggest multidisciplinary research awareness its implications diversity.
